Do they actually make reliable microsd cards, or are they all just shit that'll die after a few months of use?

@foone Photographers and videographers usually point to SanDisk. I think there's one or two other brands with good quality, too.

@foone I mean, define “use” to start. I suspect you might be putting anomalous amounts of strain on them. I’ve never had a sandisk fail on me, but they just go into a device and stay there with light usage for years.

@foone I guess that depends on what is the use case? For a camera storage I've never had an issue with one, even after years of active use, but the write cycles are pretty low there.

@foone Standards vary tremendously. I have thumb drives / [micro]SD cards that have served for years, and others that died almost immediately. There should be reviews out there"?

@foone I have a handful of SanDisk Ultras and Ive yet to have one fail. I also have a few Samsung branded cards that still hold up.

@foone I bought a couple of these SanDisk High Endurance microSD cards in 2022 and they aren't the fastest you've ever used but they sure are still working https://www.newegg.com/sandisk-256gb-microsdxc/p/N82E16820173242

@foone depends on the use-case. We thrash SanDisk and Lexar cards pretty heavily and they’ve been fine. Just don’t use ext4 in a RasPi…

@foone They are all shit, but if you need lots of write cycles, maybe a microsd made for security cameras (wd purple?) might be a better option, but I'm not sure how much of it is marketing BS.

@foone Yes. They're branded as “endurance” or “industrial” and/or marketed specifically for dashcams. Those are the ones that are robust against high temperature and have high write cycle longevity.

@foonemultiple manufacturers make "high endurance" or even "industrial" versions that claim to endure a higher amound of write cycles. These are useful for RasPis and such. I only ever had 1 µSD fail in a pi (samsung i think) an that was years ago, even though i manly dont use high ebdurance cards for that

@foone You can't just buy them off amazon, they'll occasionally send you fake ones out of their co-mingled bins, IIRC

@foone I have a 64GB Samsung "Pro Endurance" that has logged 200,000 miles in all temperatures and one 50 mph t-bone of a Dodge Ram in my dashcam and has been flawless so far.

@foone they do, for use in industrial systems. They have a lot less capacity than your standard model and they're pretty pricey.

@foone as several others in this thread, I've had success with "Industrial" / "Endurance" / "security camera" variants (from Transcend and Samsung); combined with using CoW or Log-structured filesystems (f2fs, btrfs, etc.) on partitions aligned to not cross erase blocks (i.e.: all steps to help reduce write amplification)

@foone <shakes head> so many useless comments. I use mostly SanDisk. Micro SD in old pi...2? On 24/7, mounted noatime, ext4, but idle except for probably one or two access a month (it connected my USB scanner to Ethernet) lasted two to three years, went through three of them like clockwork.

@foone Sandisk, but they tend to be peculiar when used in devices with bad PSUs. You got a scope to check for ripple?

@foone I’ve generally had good experiences with SanDisk ones, but I mainly use them in cameras, which means they get fairly even wear. For rewrite-heavy workloads I’d probably spring for the “high endurance” variant.

@foone It depends on what you're doing with them. I've had pretty decent luck with Samsung's High Endurance line in my security cameras and my dashcam. Regular Sandisk cards worked decently well for me too, but in this application they crapped out after a couple of years. I also used to use the Samsung Evo+ line when I had a smartphone that could accept a MicroSD card and I thought those were "fine". I haven't done any research into 'em in a while, so grain of salt and all that, but that's what's worked for me in my application.

@foone Golden rule: Insert once, do not disturb forever. Always transfer data another way, using the device it mounted in.It’s not a floppy disk. Think of it as a hard disk.

@foone sadly nobody's put in the work to make an sdxc to sata adapter. 😔 Hell, even raid1 to two cards would be killer.
