samsung 970 evo pro 1tb nvme, now below $250 can buy le, thank me later.

Looks like a good deal. If your PC has an NVMe slot, can consider the Samsung 970+ instead which is selling at a very tempting price as well.

If u use it on crucial drives to do cloning, it is sufficient. For stuff like scheduled backups I use the freeware easeus todo backup.

Anyone clone an SSD into a SD card? (For backup)

I will not recommend this cuz it will be extremely slow.
If you want just use a external hard disk will be much faster.

Unless the data is very little, it's going to take forever ( ssd > SD )

Technically you can do that, but it will be painfully slow. Most conventional SD cards have very slow write speed even though they advertised "up to" XX speed. Also, SD cards usually employs cheap NAND, which may fail faster than your SSD. I have a few SD cards that experienced sudden death even though they are rarely used.
