Dual micro sd card?

[kingdragonbg]

A dual micro sd card adapter where it plugs into the micro sd card slot but the adapter has 2 as card slots you can put 2 micro sd cards in

Is this possible ? Like say if there even is an adapter out there could the slot support that much power or micro sd cards at once ?

Even if that was possible it would hang out of the slot which could possibly damage or even break the slot if something were to hit it, or try to lay it in the case.

The SD interface is a point-to-point connection. Such thing could exist for the USB port though.

The adapter if I possibly made my own one day would lay in the back of the steam deck like a flex board or something with clips to connect both ends of the deck or some type of special case made with the adapter plugged into the card slot and then 2 micro sd slots built into the back side

What do you mean by point to point it has to connect to even transfer data at all? Or no can’t connect an adapter and transfer data like that through a longer connection of sort ?

You would still need to ensure data transfer. The SD connection isn't built around such use cases.

Ok then guess that’s out of the question lmao but maybe a case built with a usb c built into it and plugged into the steam deck with a micro sd slots in the back of the case to slide in and play ? Like you said could be used possibly to power and do that and all but also still allow someone to plug in charge and do all the other power adapter stuff with a usb hub and other stuff just the case would have a power off switch so the sd cards don’t consume power 24/7

USB-C docks providing power to the upstream device (the Deck, in this case) are a thing. I've never seen one with a power switch for the SD slot though. Not all of them come with an SD slot to begin with.

I've seen it working with a PSP, but that was 2 sdcards in a memorystick adapter that operated as if in raid 0.
so they'd be formatted as a single storage device, and removing either would make all data inaccessible.

i don't know how well this would translate to sdcard as the adapter.

Firstly: What for? I got the 256GB with a 512GB SD Card.
Its nice to have a bunch of games installed, but dont tell me you have to install various +100GB games at once.

The only practical thing I can think of is a USB-Hub with a Card Reader where you could hot swap the cards. Easier would be to have several SD Cards which you could just exchange (similiar to the nintendo switch system, just with a lot more games on each card)

But still.....is it necessary?

I highly advice against any kind of (selfmade) long adapter sticking out of a portable device.

Um mainly used to organize things better and for possibly game development ? Like a whole sd card for textures files and all of it and then another sd card to install test builds and things like that as just one example or 2 sd cards one for old games (and old games on older systems) and then another sd card for maybe designs logos stuff like that ? Like it be useful to just have them plugged in at same time not need to switch it every time also think it would save potentially on the lifespan of the slot lol

Translates well actually just helps prove the other guys thing that it would prob not work and making it a raid would yes give a bigger storage but once removed made data useless? So it would need to be able to plug in or out any time and let me somehow separate both sds then it be able to do it in a nas like situation but hot swapable ???

Don't do that. Go for one bug storage device & organize data in folders. That's what folders were invented for. Instead, direct your tinkering motivation towards backups. You totes need backups if you're going for development.

True thanks will prob do big folders then and organize and do just that and backups
