This is the sort of testing you would hope that someone like Storagereviews would ultimately do but hasn't. They have all these SD cards and have tested them in various performance scenarios, would be nice for them to also test the endurance of the cards as well. At ~3000 total drive writes that is quite a lot of endurance for a raspberry pi, especially for a 128GB drive where the OS and apps only take up ~20-30GB. That is a lot of OS updates and database writes. Still glad someone is doing this. I just went with the endurance cards with A2 ratings (Samsung in this case) but none of my Sandisks failed in my Raspberry pi's over the years they all still work but I haven't hammered them. More recently I moved to an Orange PI 5 plus which has an SSD now and that ideally is what they move to for performance and durability reasons.
