Question storing mp4's on x-fat sd's

[miltkk]

ive been reading about the instability of using ex-fat formatted micro sd drives

is ex-fat good for just storing my mp4 movies and just keeping them in my tablet?

also, if i switch out micro sd's(i have a ton of movies), is there a procedure to switch them out safely?

thx, all...much appreciated

The particular file format...exFAT, FAT32, NTFS, whatever...is of little consequence.

What is the real issue is the microSD, and having only one copy of these files

The only purpose for storing files you'd like to keep on SD cards is for short-term convenience. In that way, it's a lot like storing your banking information on a cocktail napkin.
