Probably easier to switch out for debugging or to flash a SSD from a PC.

Surely a M.2 to USB adapter would be better for that use case?

[–] LorIps@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that adapter ist just a PCB, I'd assume a M.2 to USB Adapter is mofe complicated.

You still need a microSD to USB adapter if you want to use it with a PC that doesn't have a microSD slot (which I'm sure is like 99% of PCs).

How many laptops don't have an SD Card slot?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

In my experience, most modern laptops don't include one.
