SD cards may have high headline transfer speeds for large sequential transfers by they are far slower than a modest laptop drive for the small random transfers which you get when using them as the primary disc for an OS. SD cards are also quite unreliable, and often fail catastrophically without notice when used as primary storage. They have far less sophisticated write buffering an wear levelling than an SSD. I'd probably put a cheap small SSD on for the OS, and a large spinning rust drive to use as a NAS. ---druck
