I actually adore you, i was soooo nervous to ask my partner for help since they're going into cyber security and already get slightly disappointed when i ask things like "Is a TB a lot?" so this saved me embarrassment until they ask me something else about tech

I have recently started to film videos and download them using a card reader to my laptop, but it takes a very long time. Can it be that this is because I didn't format the SD Card?
