No, that would be very bad design if you unplugged your external drive (while adopted storage) or if it crashed and that caused your entire system to brick.
All that happens if you remove adopted storage is that a bunch of your games/apps that you had running on the drive won't work. You might see some "this app has stopped unexpectedly" messages or something like that, but that's it.
Other than that, nothing happens. You can still use the device and all of the system apps are installed on the internal 16GB drive, so mostly everything aside from some of your downloaded games/apps you've installed still work, so they'd need to be reinstalled either on another adopted storage device or internally.
And yeah using an SSD over USB 3.0 on this thing is awesome.
I use this app called Disk Speed / Performance Test(has to be sideloaded onto the shield) to run read/write speed tests on the drives.
It's amazing how much faster the SSD was when I compared it to the micro SD.
3x faster read speed and over 10x faster write speed.
200 GB Sandisk. Speed seems comparable to the 128 GB Samsung Evo I had in before, but I never bothered to benchmark either card. Plenty fast enough to do what I want to do with it.
EDIT: Got curious so I went out and looked up some benchmarks. The EVO is definitely the faster card, but this Sandisk Ultra is fast enough to record 4K video, so I'm fine with it.
EDIT 2: Got more curious, so I downloaded a benchmarking app, and my tests on this card are significantly better than the benchmarks reported in that article. I got 63 MB/s sequential read (versus their reported 47.9) and 13 MB/s sequential write (versus their reported 8.581).
I haven't before, but I just went out and got this app. Seems to work okay so far.
Nice, can you run a speed test and post the results? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.hipxel.performance.disk.speed.test
Nice! Lots of solid benchmarks in that thread! I'll definitely have to give that benchmarking app a try.
You could try this.
