Using f2fs and setting up the SW on my SBCs to not write data needlessly to SD card all the time (some programs are really bad at this), and having a very high quality power supply and cabling was enough to make my boards work for years on a single SD card. Some are at 4 years currently and still work fine. I'm using Sandisk only, since a few years ago, because it's the only manufacturer that allows me to verify online whether the card I bought is genuine and provides A1 rated cards at the same time. Experience with about 20 boards.

- znpy 6y agodoes it run on linux or do i need windows to run that? because if windows is needed then sandisk can get a chunk of my salary.

- megous 6y agoNow that's interesting. I have a few dead samsung uSD cards, that I'd check for genuineness, if possible. I suspect they might have been a cheap clone. https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/... I guess too little too late. None of the 4 dead Samsung cards I could find have the V mark (too old for that), required for validation, and they probably started adding support for regular EVO cards just a year ago or so.
