While I understand MicroSD cards are not good for long term archival storage, I was interested in storing a veracrypt encrypted backup of my data onto a 1TB microSD card as a "backup of a backup" (I already use a regular external SSD for my off site backup) because it fits in my wallet and can be a true "edc" copy of my important files.
My issue is that I do have files over 4GB so I need to use exFAT or NTFS, and my understanding is that NTFS is superior due to journaling if I'm only planning on using it on windows, while exFAT has a much higher chance of data corruption. I do only plan on using this on windows but.... it would also be nice if I could use it on other devices too like a normal thumb drive. For this use case, I don't plan on having any files larger than 4GB.
Is it viable to have my backup stored on an NTFS partition and the remaining space be a normal Fat32/exFAT partition for use as a regular thumb drive that's multi-device compatible?
I've bricked microSD cards in the past, and it makes me a bit nervous to try this out on something I spent almost $100 on so I wanted to bounce the idea here first. If this is a stretch I'll just do it all NTFS and carry a separate, smaller thumb drive if I need multi device compatibility.
