It turns out that there is a component of a mobile device that needs to be replaced quite often.

We are talking about the SD card.

Of course, this storage device can only be called a “part” of the phone conditionally.

The fact is that a smartphone can work quite well without a memory card.

And yet, the SD card is directly related to mobile phones and tablets. Therefore, all gadget owners need to know the following: the storage device must be changed at least once every 2 years.

Why does the SD card need to be changed so often?

The fact is that the device may suddenly fail.

As a result, the user will lose important data. And it will most likely not be possible to restore it.

The risk of this scenario is significantly increased if the SD card is more than two years old.

This is why the device needs to be changed exactly at this frequency.

Of course, before replacing the SD card, you need to create backup copies of your files. In other words, you need to copy all photos, videos, audio recordings, applications and documents, for example, to your computer's hard drive.

After purchasing a new SD card, you need to transfer the data to it.

What should a user do if he/she does not want to change the SD card?

If a person is not eager to buy a new storage device every two years, then he should choose a mobile phone with a large amount of built-in memory.

In this case, all data will be stored “directly on the phone” and is unlikely to be lost.
