I was going to make a YouTube video on this for some views, but let’s be real, I’m too lazy 😆. So, here’s a written guide instead! I worked with ChatGPT to put this together with my instructions, and here it is.

What You’ll Need:

  • SD Card (I recommend 256GB—while 1TB does work, I’ve run into rare but annoying issues. I couldn’t test 512GB).
  • ADB installed on your computer.

Important Notes:

  1. This process formats the SD card, erasing all data.
  2. After setup, don’t move system files to the SD card when prompted—it will cause bootloops! Just choose “No” when it asks if you want to move everything.
  3. Afterward, new apps will auto-install on the SD card. If an app doesn’t work well from there, you can manually move it to internal storage, and vice versa.

Steps:

  1. Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging:
    • Go to Settings > About Phone and tap on Build Number 7 times to unlock Developer Options.
    • Then go to Settings > Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
  3. Install ADB on Your Computer:
    • If you haven’t yet, install ADB. Minimal ADB and Fastboot will work fine.
  5. Connect Your Device to the Computer:
    • Connect the Razer Edge to your computer via USB.
    • Accept the prompt on your device to allow USB debugging.
  7. Open ADB on Your Computer:
    • Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
    • Type the following command to check if your device is connected:
    • adb devices
    • If it’s recognized, it will show up in the list. If not, ensure drivers are correctly installed.
  9. Find Your SD Card’s ID:
    • Type this command to list available disks:
    • adb shell sm list-disks
    • You’ll see a disk ID like disk:179,64 or something similar.
  11. Convert the SD Card to Internal Storage:
    • Type this command, replacing disk:179,64 with your SD card’s ID from the previous step:
    • adb shell sm partition disk:179,64 private
    • This will format the SD card and set it as internal storage.Please wait for a little before disconnecting and checking.
  13. After Setup:
    • All new apps will install to the SD card by default. If an app has issues, you can move it back to internal storage through the device’s storage settings.

This guide is super straightforward! Just replace the SD card ID in the commands with the one you get, and you’re done. Enjoy!

This worked for me. Thank you so much!

Hi there. So I tried this method on the SD card I have in my Razer Edge, and it seems like it worked. Except that without any prompts for me to either approve or decline, after I put the command in to have the SD card become the internal storage, it automatically put (or perhaps mirrored?) everything that was in the original internal storage of the device onto the SD card, INCLUDING ALL SYSTEM FILES AND APPS. And no, I never touched or dabbled around with the “merge” option whatsoever either. How do I prevent this from happening on its own?  Thanks for the assistance and for posting this altogether. It’s looking like there’s hope yet for the longevity of my device.
