I still finding it hard to trust 1TB worth of important data stored in that medium. I'm half joking but still, only half joking. The other half is dead serious.

It is always a bad idea to store any amount of important data on a single medium.

Seen too many (including myself at some point) have all their data in one external HDD and pass it around friends with a caution to be safe with their data.

I've lost most of my photo and video collection due to two HDD failures between 2017-2020.

SD cards for me is just a medium to transfer from a device to permanent storage so I don't have to worry about data retention on a tiny device unless it get lost.
