Only if you are a filthy causal, specific brand vertically integrated sd cards are so 2019.
So what you need to do, if you are serious about this micro server business, is buy a 1.5TB optane 905p and slot it into a pcie x4 to m.2 adapter. From there you will need a M.2 nvme to usb converter(make sure you don't get a SATA-only one). I like to strip out the inside of a tuff nano, but any will do. Now that you have your drive basics setup, you will need a type c to type a usb cable so that you can plug this into a Pi4. You could use the usb c port on the Pi4, but then how will you power the pi4, dummie? From there you will have to write a small driver that translates sd protocol commands to usb mass storage commands. Now get some wires and solder the Pi4's GPIO pins (the ones you used as I/O for your driver) to the micro sd pins on the adapter. And that's it, now you have a real SD card that is actually fast enough to run your server from an SDIO adapter! Wasn't that easy? Plus this way you didn't have to give $am$ung or $andisk any of your money.
