SDCARD (FATFS) storage for peer data rather than internal flash

[OwainIncus]

I was thinking of using our SDCARD/FATFS storage for peer data.

Pro's of doing this I can see include....

+ wear leveling handled in SDCARD
+ simple

Cons...

- slower

I suppose it depends on how frequently the data is read and written. Am I worrying about something; should I just go ahead and use the standard fds?

don't Nordic's flash storage facilities give you wear levelling already?

Hi,

What do you mean by peer data?

In any case, the nRF5 SDK comes with the FDS library which is a simple file system that is used to store bonding information by the peer manager, and can also be used to store any other data on the internal flash. That has wear leveling already. If you need external storage to get more space I understand considering a SD card, but if that is not the case then I do not see any benefits with it.
