Those who are using the "format SD card as internal storage" feature of marshmallow, how is it working out so far? *

What type of SD card are you using?

Any noticable decrease in overall performance?

Does any particular app become unusable when transfered to the SD card?

Any conflicts with root apps? (Titanium backup for example)

My experience so far:

I am using a 64GB sandisk ultra, when i was formatting it as internal the phone said that the SD card appears to be slow. I reccomend you go for a faster card ( uhs-2 or 3 for example instead of class 10 to avoid that error, but bare in mind that i didn't notice any problems besides that error)

No noticable decrease in overall performance

I don't use a lot of apps so I'm a good judge for this, but i haven't noticed anything so far. Please note though that it's really easy to move specific apps to internal storage if they're slow, and bare in mind that you'll have a lot of free space in internal storage because you won't be keeping your downloads or media on it.

II am too scared to try using any root apps while the SD card is merged. Last time i messed with file systems and root i managed to corrupt both internal storage and wipe the SD card on the same day. I don't have the time to fix anything if it breaks so I'll wait.

A while back there was a post from someone using an Android One device that said if you adopt the SD card it becomes the "primary" storage and you never see the phone storage anymore. So if you have an 8GB phone and adopt a 64GB card, when you plug into a computer you'll see 64GB instead of a combined 72GB. He said you can only move apps to the internal storage at that point, nothing else.

Can you verify?

Both are true.

First of all, you should know that the internal storage and the SD card aren't "merged", its just that the SD card is formated in a way and adopted for use of storing some of the data thats usually stored in the internal storage ( for example apps and downloads). What marshmallow does well is that it has a really efficient system and UI for managing this whole process and making sure apps don't give you any trouble.

After you adopt the SD card as the internal storage you can only move apps to it, everything else is moved to the SD card. This isn't a bad thing though, you'll need to keep any app that relies on io speed on the internal storage. The only situation where this may be bad is if you have a phone with large internal storage since youll be wasting most of it, in that case through you don't need to use the merge SD card with internal storage feature at all.
