Yeah, even the name brand SD cards blow up for me after about 6 months. I've switched over to the Samsung "FIT" USB sticks that fit flush with the port, and boot off that. And leave the SDXC slot free for importing images from the camera.
So far, my experience has been SD cards faceplant by going read-only. They will mount rw, but a single write will cause a long hang, followed by a bunch of sd driver errors, and then it goes read only. It is still readable but will accept no writes, including blkdiscard (which gets translated into whatever the sd card equivalent for TRIM is).
- Scoundreller 7y agoSounds like the SD card internals for boosting voltage to do the erase go bad. I still wonder why EEPROMs don't have another pin for a high-voltage supply. Especially for SSDs with multiple chips, would make sense to have 1 efficient voltage boost, instead of in-silico charge pumps on each chip.
