   I didn't mean to offend you. I was just explaining that there are two   
   possible common uses of sdcards on Android devices, one of which is to   
   extend the memory but almost nobody bothers doing that nowadays.   
      
   The second usage is what everyone who puts a card in their phone does.   
   It is instant "extra storage" which is cheap and reliable.   
      
   You can say you have "many examples" of cards that failed just as the rest   
   of us (including me) have "many examples" of cards that did not fail on us.   
      
   I've never had a card fail. Does that mean anything? Not much.   
   It just means that putting the card inside the phone works wonders for me.   
      
   If I wanted to, it's easy to back up as almost all PCs have sd drives.   
      
   If putting the card inside your phone isn't working for you, then maybe   
   your phone is a Pixel? If so, that's your fault for buying Google phones.   
      
   Both Apple & Google don't want you to have inexpensive reliable storage.   
   Can you guess why?
