Do you have the photos backed up somewhere? If not, you're going to lose them when the card fails or when your phone gets lost or stolen.
And to be more precise about "forever": if you have 200 GB of media, then at 10 MB/s it'd take less than 6 hours to transfer, so you could do it overnight.
I have a 512GB card. Came from a 400Gb and 256GB. I try to keep them changed out every yr or so. I have them backed up but I have so many photos it would be hard to know which ones I had.
Would be interesting to know if the card reader is improved at all vs older models.
There are faster SD cards out there that most phones cannot take advantage of.
This is what I have on my S10+
Wich I'm thinking to transfer to note 10+ (maybe)
Are there faster than this out there ? And how expensive are they? Lol

That's a good card. There may be some faster, but it'd be overkill in a phone.
i haven't used a micro sd card in years. i prefer the cloud storage for a lot of stuff.
This ^
For me personally the inbuilt storage is more than enough.
I bought the 512Gb option on my Note 9 and I haven't used anywhere near that. I also got that model for the more Ram option but as now both Note 10+ models have the same Ram that's makes my choice much easier.
I've had good quality Sd Cards fail before which is a headache so no more Sd cards for me.

That is a good as any current phone can use I think. There are A2 cards out there but unless things have changed the readers in all phones that I know of cannot use the extra speed so totally pointless.
There are certainly ppl that fall into both use/need and never used/no idea. Personally, storage expansion is critical to me. Just as ppl have said on board memory is all they need, but if that device is broken your pix, downloads, etc are all lost. Some will go for cloud upload of pix which is good, but you have to pay for that in MOST cases. I also store music on my phone. 20-30GB of it. The whole purpose of having local music is to avoid excessive data usage, or when data isn't even available. The lack of microSD card combined with the gross look and boring/no features have stopped and will continue to stop me from even considering a Pixel. Especially at flagship prices. As for using on the Note, clearly I would.
yes..it's a must for me. I have a huge amount of music and I am using a 400gb micro sd card for my music. I can't live without a phone with a micro sd card slot.
I use a 128 GB MicroSD in my Galaxy S8 - mostly for offline storage of music and podcasts, and for photos. I sync the photos via OneDrive and Google Drive, but I like having the freedom of not worrying about filling up my main phone storage.
It's funny because I was going to start a thread and ask what kind of micro sd card I should get for my note 10+. I ordered the 512GB version but I tend to take tons of video and almost maxed my current note 9 and 256gb micro sd card in this phone. So from this thread would it entirely not be a good idea?
I am using my SD card. I have so many photos that I've kept from previous phones that it would take forever to transfer them between devices. Just moving the SD card from one device to the other is so much easier.
I am on the fence about this as when my phone broke my SD card became corrupted. I thought I lost the 9000+ photos and 400+ CD albums I had on it. Thank God everything was already backed up with Google. I started to cry in the phone store when the rep brought all my "stuff" back for me!!

You should always keep backups (preferably multiple), whether you use the SD card or not. If you use the card or not is up to you, but don't rely on it or your phone as your only storage option, as you've seen first-hand.

Most music does not take you a lot of space unless you are storing high resolution files which I do. As to streaming, unlimited data plans solve the using up data issue.
It's really up to you and what your needs are. My n9 is 128 gb , but I got a 256 gb card free with another phone so I've been using it, but since my n 10 will be 256 gb I probably won't need to use it this go round. With all my music and pics I'm barely using 37 gb of my card.
I still use SD cards and Cloud storage. I find it terribly convenient to store my photos and documents on the SD card and it also allows me to move many of my apps to the SD card, freeing up more internal memory. I tend to have a wee bit more apps installed on my phone than the average user. 😁

Do Not move your apps to memory card on note 10
Internal memory on note 10 is ufs 3.0 Wich is 5 times faster than your external storage
You'll slow down your phone , plus with 256 gb at least + sd card , there's no need to transfer the apps even if you have 500 apps on your phone
