hi guys I have a MacBook Air and find that the original drive is too small.

now ive got a drive on order to replace it with 1TB

but im wondering if there is a way of using a 1TB SD Card as storage while I wait for the drive to arrive ?


thanks

It's fine for temporary use.

+1 for that advice. SD Cards are notoriously unreliable if constantly reused or updated with more data. Your data is critical, so a once only usage should be okay.
