I am convinced that phonemakers deliberately make SD card support in phones suck, and then they say "See? SD cards suck. Now pay up for our expensive storage". I bought a good SD card and on my phone it indeed works like ass. But then I plug it into my PC using a cheap Chinese reader and suddenly same card works much, much better. Sure, when you run a benchmark you'll see "Ah-ha! It cannot handle twenty instances of Postgres running at once" but if you try booting Linux from it and doing normal everyday tasks you'll see that the performance is more than enough.
