      I’ve got a bunch of high capacity SD cards that i converted into little storage drives. I throw movies and tv shows I download onto them and it’s great for handing off to a friend or throwing into a device real quick.

      I got these individual usb SD card readers but they get really hot if you leave them on all the time. So it’s nice to only turn it on when I need to read or write to them. The added security benefit is that when they are off you literally can’t hack them.

        Oh ok. So you’re using them effectively like cold storage backups? I was scared you were going to tell me that you were running an ZFS pool off a USB hub, lol.

          I’d say that’s an accurate summary of my activities. It’s nice to plug in one usb and hit the buttons as needed. I hate fiddling around with it since micro SD cards are super easy to lose track of.
