I use the SD card storage for music, ebooks, and videos (maybe a TV episode or movie for a long flight or power outage). My main phone is a P7P with 512 GB internal NAND, and my secondary device is a Samsung tablet with 128 GB internal NAND and 256 GB on an SD card (unencrypted). This is useful as a backup/dump drive for photos, videos, etc, but you also then run the risk of leaking this data if the phone or card is lost/stolen.

You can run an SD card unencrypted, but you can't run apps/games from it. Some might require rooting the phone, but not all will work even then. Note that not all apps allow you to move or install them to an external card, even if it is encrypted. The reasons you might want to do this are if your phone has limited internal storage (eg older or low end phones with only 16-32 GB storage), or if you have a bunch of games that take up a lot of space. Which means you can't transfer the data to a new phone/device, or read it off from a PC on its own. There's a tradeoff between usability, security and interoperability with external SD cards.īasically, if you want to use your SD card as 'internal storage', it has to be encrypted.
