Oh great. Even less SD cards because everyone bumps up their firestick when they dont really need it. Waste of time IMHO

I would upgrade my tablet SD card before I do my firestick.

I am using it to backup some stuff. Remember Jesus may save. But incremental backups matter.

That is the take I have had for a while. Good debate though, fair play.

Not sure that captures the full picture for me. This is exactly the kind of conversation I come here for.

That is the conclusion most people land on eventually. When I ran into something similar the biggest improvement came from stripping things back and checking the obvious basics first.

Worth trying before anything more drastic.
