At lease you can write protect the stuff in it so it will be a virus freaking free.. Hi MS are you listening!!
 
Just give your self READ only to folders you are worried about under the NTFS security permissions.

You can use 2 users one with full control and one that has read only to all your files or even programs(limiting users with permissions is at the heart of NTFS). then ONLY use the full control account when you HAVE to make changes or install programs.

I am sure you will have some programs not liking the restrictions, but it would give the same effect.

Write protection also relies on the reader listening to it AND you can bypass it if needed(my guess is so could a virus programmed to do this).

Hmm. Very good idea. But need more slots for microSD 8 or 10. As RAID hardware support. For home it`s will be best solution.
If your SSD is fail you just have to purchase new. In this solution you will not lost data (in RAID 5) and issue fixing will cost small $$$. Plus if device will have simle upgrade from 32G MicroSD to 128G Microsd it`s will be awersome !!!!

But it`s never happend because SSD manufactures not allow this :(.

if you really want one they are £12 on ebay from china they arn't UHS-i ready so only write at 10MB/s read rate is 25MB/s, fine as a cheap backup solution

The only useful thing Photofast ever made IMO, is the adapter that turns two microSDs into a memory stick. That was the greatest thing ever for my PSP back in 2008.
