Has anyone tried this? How good does it work? Any problems in day to day usage?

My understanding is many SD cards have sub-optimal wear leveling compared with SSDs so there may be more to it than just writes per sector.

It's certainly possible their write distribution isn't as good as SSD's. Honestly it feels like there should be a bigger tradeoff I'm not seeing in my reading here, so I'm kinda hoping someone knowledgeable on the subject will jump in and confirm or deny.

But ultimately I don't think that using a microSD for running windows is necessarily a terrible idea, sounds like it could work out ok.
