First of all, how many of you remember the I believe original Samsung Focus? Remember, the WP7 device that had support for microSD? Well, remember when you put in a microSD card, it would become a part of the OS and if you tried to remove it you had to hard reset the phone? Now, I've had an idea myself. For lack of a better term, let's call it RAID0ing. Basically, what I mean is, in WP8, allowing microSD cards to become one with the internal storage. Now, this will be allowed as an option, so you can choose for hot-swappable removable media cards that support just media, not application data (such as maps), or you can choose to essentially fuse it to the OS allowing for a bigger memory for things like apps, map data, etc. Let's take the Nokia Lumia 820 as an example.
8GB onboard storage, and a 32GB microSD card. I would then have two choices. I can either choose to have it for hotswappable media and keep 8GB for apps, map data, etc and use the 32GB exclusively for media. Or I could choose to fuse it together and gain a nice 40GB of "onboard" space for everything. This would also be really useful for overcoming the limitations of the 8S's 4GB OB storage.
Thoughts, suggestions, comments?
