SSD drive in 992
How is it possible that the 992 has no SSD drive to store movies or music? It used to be in911.2 I had before.

My 2018 audi has a built in storage, and it was the first thing I noticed when I got the 992. However after using a SD card I find it more simple to use. Instead of using the SD card to load into the storage I can just keep it on the SD card eliminating the one step.

I’d like to know also why the 992 has no cassette player.
I have a bunch ABBA tapes I’d like to listen to.

Actually many of today's computer and laptops are moving to SSD (solid state drives) for storage because they are faster and much more reliable than hard drives with moving parts. The price of SSDs has dropped to become mainstream. And similar to cameras, which use SD cards for storage not hard drives, automobiles have a smaller storage requirement and therefore SD cards are sufficient and well-suited. Hard drives also require an extra step to load music, which must be done via SD (so why not just use and keep the SD in place) or ripping CDs (which are obsolete these days for music).
I used to transfer new music regularly to my Porsche internal storage drive and did that with a USB stick. It worked well.
Anyway we no longer have access to this storage but I am still surprised that only up to 128GB of SD is supported.

Thinking through this a little, turns out 2 of our daily use cars have onboard hard drives but we really don't use them. Either we stream, use a plugged in iPod. or use CarPlay.
