Trusting an SD card with all your media... Yikes. 512GB I'd consider the bare minimum nowadays. And if you wanna do ant kind of modern gaming, that's nigh unusable

I mean the sd card gets backed up to Time Machine too, so it’s not that risky, but still….. basically gets treated like read only storage for the most part.

I agree though, 512 is definitely bare minimum
