Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

I'm holding out for titanium do I can add it to my EDC loadout and totally dunk on that loser Travis at the office.

The only SD card that ever failed on me was a barely used Lexar I bought for my camera. And it was not because it bent or anything.

Hopefully there's no aluminium in the SD card slot

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Why?

[-] PCurd@feddit.uk 9 points 3 months ago

Aluminium and steel have interesting galvanic reactions when touching each other https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/stainless-steel-and-aluminum/

Thanks! Sounds destructive

[-] PCurd@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

Yep, although more for the aluminium than the steel!

galvanic corrosion

I would like for this to be viable, but right now it just seems like it would tear up your slot.

How? Your slot is designed to fit them. A damaged card having abnormal dimensions is way more likely to harm your slot than the card that isn't supposed to bend not bending.

Most of the sd card receptacles I see are made pretty cheaply and that means harder, less pliable materials like steel will make them wear faster.

Why did they call them 'gold' and 'silver pro'?

[-] ms_lane@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

SteelPro

This is a great idea at first glance - I've certainly had a few usb sticks come apart on removal
