The new cards are part of Lexar's "Armor" lineup, which already includes ruggedized portable SSDs and other gear designed to withstand harsh conditions. The two new stainless...
I’ll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it’s made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn’t matter what it is made out of, it’s going to pollute.
do micro metals even exist in substantial capacity? The problem with micro plastics is that they don’t break down and decay until like a gazillion years later, so whatever micro plastics are in your kidneys now, will continue to be in them until you die.

Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic
doesn’t metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?
But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.
“Honey, I accidently digested our SD card again”
True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

What a downvote Nancy.
probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.
You’re not supposed to eat them.
i literally cannot help myself.
at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor
honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol
But what about ingesting micrometals

Maybe extreme weather conditions for trail cams? That’s the only reason I would think about using one but never actually buy one for lol.

People will pay more money for premium.
But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.
