Hey there! I'm trying to set up Windows 10 on my Chromebook just for fun. I saw someone mention using a lightweight version after reading on YouTube, but I heard the micro SD cards I've seen only handle about 100 MB/s. What do you think would work best?

The issue with that speed estimate lies in its reliance on sequential transfers, similar to how a hard drive performs. For solid performance, you require a storage solution that handles random tasks efficiently. I've attached a screenshot showing an example between my SSD and a HDD—sequential speeds work well on the HDD but fail under any random workload. This is what you'll encounter when using any kind of SD card.

Absolutely, I understand the issue. I'm just testing it out for fun. What type of SSD are you using? It seems quite quick.

The drive I checked was a Seagate 2TB model, while the SSD I tested was a Samsung PM951 512GB AHCI unit—roughly between the Samsung 840 and 850 in terms of average speed. NVMe offers quicker access and lower CPU load, but since I assembled this system nearly two years ago, I had limited options for affordable components, so keep that in mind.
