    The only advantage of having it as internal storage, from my knowledge is that you can install and run apps on the card. I don't understand why Android developers can't combine best of two options in one?

    Does it effects the system speed like does it boost the phone speed or lessened? Cuz it always depends on how fast of a reader your sd card is compare to the actual system storage that can read faster than the sd card. Will that make some inBallance within the system or just neutral?

    • @GMODISM
      @GMODISM  2 роки тому +2

      It will not boost the speed, so depends mostly on how fast your SD card is, however having a almost full storage makes it slow is it might feel like a boost, but the slowest cards will make it slow

    When I go to camera settings there is no storage option that says sd card.
    It has 7.1. 1 update. If I put an sd card in , will I then get the sd card option for storage?
    Also when I go to my files that is where I find storage internal and sd card.
    I don't get that option in settings.
    Maybe 7.1.1 is not updated enough to operate like in this video.

When you format it as internal storage my availabe storage then goes from 100GB free internally and 500GB free on SD card to only 500GB internal storage throwing away 100GB of free space storage.

    • @mgjfile
      @mgjfile Рік тому +6

      I wish the video was going to explain that more in deep, but no, just basic information (by talking about "if you want to remove it you can't").
      I think that the only main CONs destroy all the numerous advantages by using the memory as internal storage; basically if the SD memory fails (die or get corrupted) you cannot recovery anything from that, like if you are using the memory as an external storage. The advantage are insane, like you can have a phone with 144GB of storage instead of 16GB (by using a 128GB microSD card) so you can install any app on the SD card (and not just the few app compatible with "move on external storage") with no limits, like if your phone came with all that storage by factory, BUT, as said, if that memory fail you basically lose everything due the fact that the memory became compatible only with that phone (I think it get encripted) so no recovery via PC.
      This disadvantage is big enough to nullify the advantages.
