I don't see them covering the "high endurance" or "industrial" models of SD cards, those are usually for 24/7 operation like security cams or industrial usage and tend to be way more reliable, especially the dedicated industrial ones which aren't readily available on Amazon because they cost way way more than your typical consumer is willing to spend for something they've been conditioned must be dirt cheap.
Unfortunately, such posts tend not to be very relevant long term, as non-reputable brands can always switch the flash/controller dies underneath the package to save costs, while maintaining the same packaging design and SKU, so as a consumer you can always be duped into buying something with good reviews which is now a totally different product that performs worse. And that's not counting the fakes.
- bigfatkitten 1y agoManufacturers of high quality, expensive industrial cards tell you when they do this by publishing product change notifications. Consumer manufacturers generally don’t; not even reputable brands. They too change things all the time.
- FirmwareBurner 1y ago>not even reputable brands. They too change things all the time. It's one thing to change the dies underneath due to inevitable manufacturing advancements or supply chain issues but maintain the same specs/performance because you have standards, and another to rug-pull the consumer to save money and increase your margin. That's what differentiates reputable consumer brands from the rest.
- bigfatkitten 1y agoThe “reputable” brands often do just that.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoOK, do you have any sources for that and what you define reputable manufacturer? To only Samsung is reputable, maybe Sandisk on occasion. The rest are junk.
- ahartmetz 1y agoSandisk is not good at all anymore. A brand to avoid, now.

- frereubu 1y agoThere's a short comment thread here about that, which does seem to suggest they're better: https://old.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/1l0v25s/how_reliable_are_microsd_cards_well_as_it_turns/mvhvbey/ https://old.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/1l0v25s/how_r...
- adrian_b 1y agoThe review includes a number of industrial cards, e.g. those from Delkin. As expected, most of those had better reliability results.
- herbst 1y agoI have tried really hard to find quality SD cards. Yet no raspberry pi survived more than like 6 months of running time so far, without dramatic system failure because of a small SD failure
