adding extra storage to acer aspire switch 11

charae32

Is this compatible for an acer aspire switch 11.6 "?
Will it fit? & can I use this to store movies, music, & pics on?

PNY Elite Performance 128GB High Speed SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Up to 90MB/sec Flash Card - P-SDX128U1H-GE https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008PO5CSI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_6IWOub18ZD76K

Or do I need this:

Samsung 128GB EVO Micro SDXC up to 48MB/s with Adapter (MB-MP128DA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P3NMVVU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_pOWOub17ZSB1C

Thanks

No, it'll be faster than using a HD in the keyboard, since it's solid state. The data transfer rate is limited by the internal USB port speeds though, so it'll be closer to 20M/sec instead of 40M/sec. Still quite workable...

The second one will work, albeit at a bit slower maximum speed. The first isn't a microSD card and won't fit the slot.

Thanks! & are you saying it will be slower than adding an extra hard drive inside the keyboard? Or slow compared to what?

I've taken apart my Acer Switch 11, and the Keyboard dock HDD IS the easiest way to go.

 

However, for the more experienced, you can replace the built in SSD with a bigger, better option. it Takes m.2 i believe.
