I want to use a 128Gb SD card to expand the space on the ultrabook. Will there be problems or pitfalls?

In general, it's time to buy a new laptop and I decided to move towards ultrabooks, today I played with Lenovo Yoga 13 in the store and realized that this was it (I used to look at Asus Zenbook, but the idea of \u200b\u200bcombining a tablet and a laptop in one makes me very happy.). But there is a problem - 128Gb SSD (for some reason, no more) and there is a suspicion that it will not be very easy to replace it. Therefore, the thought arose, but should I buy another SD card for the same 128 gigs and use it to store movies / music / photos. Those. I will occasionally upload the data there and watch / listen from there.
The only question is, will there be any problems with this?
Thank you in advance!

Some built-in card readers, even on modern laptops, for some reason use not only usb 2.0, but sometimes even usb 1.1. Now I don’t remember the models, but the presence of an external usb 3.0 does not guarantee a favorable situation for the card reader. Consider this.
In addition, SD cards are bad with heating at a high and constant write / heating rate, as well as with the number of rewrite cycles.
We would recommend an external drive with usb 3.0, although it is clear that this is already a solid addition to the laptop in terms of size and weight, but if you take a 1.8-2.5" ssd, it's not that big.

If my memory serves me, then you can simply add one mSATA, there should be an additional connector inside the Yoga13.

Replace SSD with a bigger one? Not cheap, but more reliable.

Cards are consumables.
Therefore, their reliability is, by definition, lower than that of other drives. (I personally "dead" ~ 10 SDxxx cards)
Therefore, my IMHO - you can use it, BUT on the condition that you do not store data there that it would be very a pity to lose (for example, unique memorable photos).
And regarding performance - the speed is greatly reduced on small files.
