Each pair is equipped with custom Prog Varilux Physio Extensee Track polycarbonate lenses, Crizal Sapphire HR (VE1287, VE1283)/Natural Look(VE1295), anti-reflective coatings, and protection plans.

Since the beloved microsd slots are obsolete for high end devices and I refuse to pay for cloud subscriptions, and upcharged phone storage because I prefer local access to my media, this happens.

Bypassing the phone storage tax, I'm building a modular, hardwired 1.5TB rig for my S24 Ultra

​The Rig: An Acasis Magnetic Hub snapped to my case holding a recycled 512GB NVMe SSD and a 1TB MicroSD.

​The Split: The fast 512GB SSD will host all my heavy Emulator/ROM files, while the 1TB MicroSD holds my music library/pics etc

​Perks: When I upgrade my phone, the entire setup just unplugs and moves with me instead of being trapped on an internal chip.

​Anyone else running a hardwired external setup on their S24U? What other clever approaches have you used to build out massive local storage?
