Can a microsd be used as an addition to an ssd in a laptop?

Question

Solid State Drives

Hello!
I bought a Crucial M500 120 Gb SSD for my laptop.
While everything flies, I'm satisfied. After installing the software for work / study, I will have 40 gigabytes left, of which I want to leave 20 free for the needs of the hard itself.
I planned to keep video / photo / music on an external hard drive (and I have a few of them, however). And then I thought: why not use microsd 32Gb class 10, which I have in my tablet, as a music / photo storage for a laptop? Convenient: no extra synchronization in the clouds - at home the map is in the laptop, I leave, I rearrange it in the tablet. In a laptop, the card will be in the card reader, through an SD adapter.
Actually, a question. Everyone talks about ssd that they have a limited resource. And how long can a microsd live in this mode? Googled it, couldn't find it. I plan to download movies / music from torrents. Perhaps I'll write down the Dropbox'a synchronized folder there.
Another question: if you specify a download to this flash drive from torrents, will the data be written there immediately, bypassing the ssd?

Answer 1

It's clear. Most likely, with rare exceptions, a flash drive will not live long with active recording. Thanks everyone, I'm installing hdd in caddy instead of dvd drive.

Answer 2

Nobody forbids you to use a flash drive. But a flash drive also has a limited resource, except that it is cheaper. In general, there is a special f2fs file system for such devices, which optimizes work with drives and prolongs their "life".
I advise you to put as much RAM as possible, use the clouds for frequently changed files and disable the swap partition.
Whether the recording will go directly to the USB flash drive or not is a question for the software, but most likely it will be written immediately.

Answer 3

there are statistics with usb flash drives, when for some reason all work with office files (word, excel) was carried out exclusively on a flash drive , the
average flash drive (kingston, etc.) lived for about a week, after which it died , I
suspect that sd cards may more hardy, but from frequent rewriting they may well die quickly.
if there is "read-only" content on the sd card - I think there will be no problems for a long time

Answer 4

1. Torrents will kill the flash drive soon..
2. Forget about Class 10, they are very stupid. Get UHS..

Answer 5

I have a usb flash drive sharnut via ftp (friends download it), I download torrents on it. He lives for more than a year in this mode (before that, he dragged him with him for another six months).
While the flight is normal, no degradation is also noticed.
