     this was a bit of a gamble because the pinout docs for microsd express are kind of _not so good_ so i'm hyped that something works on the first try

     @attie a quick test with gnome disks shows me 400 MB/s read and 380 MB/s which is really ok for such a small card i think! it links up as PCIe 2.0 x1

     @mntmn Well done! I've never seen (or looked for) a _real_ card, just 2D mockups and the specs. Does it work well?

     maybe interesting for OpenZFS or btrfs enthusiasts?

     @attie the card itself can fall back to normal microSD/SPI pins, but these are not wired up in my case on this port (there's another classic microSD port)

     @mntmn WOW!! First time see microSD express, I wonder how will the endurance in such small format.

     @mntmn i can't believe that a real post-UHS-I card exists, and I really can't believe that a host exists.

     Meanwhile, in Raspberry Pi Land…

     @mntmn i think one day we'll have 10tb of storage in not even 2cm of physical size

     @mntmn Do either of those automatically handle wear leveling now that the world is more or less all on SSDs by now? Asking because the usual way of killing SD cards in the past has been because the filesystem overuses some areas of the card and/or doesn't lock the bad blocks before the card stops working altogether.
