I'm unmoved and unsurprised. Retail parts are unreliable, cheap crap by the nature of the market created to perpetuate the fantasies of something for nothing.

I'm unmoved and unsurprised. Retail parts are unreliable, cheap crap by the nature of the market created to perpetuate the fantasies of something for nothing. Coincidentally, I recently selected Max Endurance with a 15 year warranty for a noncritical application and a non-retail channel Industrial XI for something else. I'm also unsurprised there are no SLC or traditional EEPROM SD cards advertising these facts because of the race-to-the-bottom commodification of garbage by the price point obsession of users who don't know any better. In an ideal world™, all network and computing devices would use ECC memory but no we can't have nice things and would rather have silent corruption and bitsquatting to save a few cents. PS: C. 2001, I intentionally tried to induce errors for failure analysis purposes of industrial Maxim flash EEPROM ICs rated for 10k cell writes by using an environmental cycling chamber with heat, cold, and humidity. The damn parts wouldn't fail beyond 2.5 orders of magnitude beyond that, and I started to question that writes weren't happening. If I had more time, I would've burned it down to the ground until there were many errors to characterize it. At the end of the day, it had to be left at using turbo codes to ensure redundancy of data by cell and across chips.
