Emulation Gaming Hardware changing microsd frequently on the switch is harmful to the reader?

[jedinegao]

I had a 128gb micro sd and I upgraded to a 256gb one, with the launch of android for the V2/Oled models I thought about putting android on my 128gb microsd, since I didn't use it for anything. I wanted to ask here if I continue using 2 micro sd can there be a problem with the microsd reader or is it resistant in this regard? Can anyone tell me if this will somehow be harmful to my console's hardware?

Short answer Yes!

Quite few people having reader connector pin broken issue due to only one screw at one side holding entire reader. The more you inject+eject the higher chance you went into this situation. Not to mention the reader contact pin would wear out as well(but not major failure point IMO)

Yeah, the connector between the reader and the board (for lite and v1/2) is flimsy, so put and remove the card will break the connector, better to use Hekate's NYX UMS tool to convert your console on a SD Card reader.

The most common damage of the consoles is loosen pins of connectors and the consequent 1-bit access.

so I'll have to partition my 256 gb one to put android on it then
