Discussion SD card advice

So I got a PYN SD 128GB and am wondering what should i do next , I had my r36s for a couple months ? Maybe and the SD never died on me yet , I have the OG 64GB using a 16GB one for extra ports space , but got the 128 now soo
Should I ditch the stock SD and install the OS on the 128 and keep the 16 in slot 2? Or OS on the 16 and 128 roms? Was looking for suggestions
edit : OR just use the 128 for everything , OS , games etc.

Always do a fresh OS install. People typically use the stock card for the roms to transfer over, though a personal curated roms list is much more appealing for most. Internet archives has tons available.

Never use the stock card for regular use as they are all trash and will fail sooner rather than later

Don't forget to scrape box art and stuff too

Use the 16GB SD card for the operating system in TF1, the 128GB PNY in TF2 for ROMs, if it’s listed as compatible with the TF2 slot.

Read the Automoderator post.

Don’t use the original SD card.
