: Micro sd to SSD generator Kit

Let's say you have a couple microSD cards lying around. They're solid state bundles of storage! Also, your computer could use the speed bump that comes from swapping its clunky, old 5400RPM HDD out with a new solid state drive.

this SSD kit takes up to four of your surplus microSD cards to turn them into data storage for your 2.5-inch SATA drive bay! Each slot accepts microSD cards up to 32GB for a maximum SSD capacity of 128GB. This collection of microSD cards can be used as a boot disk for your operating system, and testing revealed this beast can up your Windows Experience Index Score to 3.6.

this SSD kit takes up to ten of your surplus microSD cards to turn them into data storage for your 2.5-inch SATA drive bay! Each slot accepts microSD cards up to 64GB for a maximum SSD capacity of 640GB. This collection of microSD cards can be used as a boot disk for your operating system, and testing revealed this beast can up your Windows Experience Index Score to 5.9!

Note: Price is too high for this  :'(. But a geek can buy this for fun IMHO

And this is hardly a good idea.
SDcards are famous for wearing down quickly.
Only very limited read/writes can be done on a single block, trust me I wore a couple down back in the days.
Also fucked up plenty of USB sticks by running OS's on them.
Generally bad idea.

These are storage devices and that is what they are good at.
SSD's suffer from the same weakness, thats also a reason not to go for the cheapo ones.

Not only that, i really see no benifits to this. Speeds for SD class 10 is between 10 - 25 MB/s while a SSD like Kingston Hyper X or Samsung EVO 840 have speeds between 510 - 540 MB/s.

Use those nice (extra) sd cards for Raspberry projects.
