  I interpreted 'Arlen''s "portable storage" as a sneaker-net mechanism,
copying a bunch of files from device X to device Y, where X and Y can be
any device which can handle MicroSD cards.

  (IM) For *that*, a memory-stick is much more conevenient than fiddling
with tiny MicroSD cards and tiny 'slots'/'trays'.

  But meanwhile 'Arlen' has explained that he uses the MicroSD card to
move a complete file system from and 'old' phone to a 'new' one. So he
is not copying files, but moving a complete file system.

  That is a very specific use of the MicroSD card feature, not something
I would have described with a general term like "portable storage".
