write to SD cards of course
microSD slot is one tenth the speed of USB 3. A good reason to not use it for more than the occasional backup. My good microSD cards are twice the microSD card slot speed so a USB 3 adaptor is better.

Plus the slot is difficult to access in most cases. Another reason to not use it.

If you get a bigger card, say 1 TB, you can format it as Ext4 then use it for Backintime style backups. The first rsync will be slow as the cards are slow and everything is copied. After that, a daily backup should be quick.
