SanDisk "High Endurance" microSD
« on: June 17, 2020, 07:07:20 AM »
I recently picked up a couple of these cards to use in my IP camera and my Pi-Hole network device.  They are supposedly made to be more reliable than standard cards under heavy, continuous use.  So far, so good.

Did you choose these because you were having problems with the regular microSD cards, or just to try them out?

I wonder if those are designed more for use in remote outdoor cameras, etc?   I suppose I could go read.....

I wasn't really having problems; it was more to try out since I needed another card for my new camera.  Since the pi-hole is having its card used all the time when anything uses the network, I figured it would be a good candidate also.

It could just all be marketing, but the price is nearly the same as the regular ones.  These seem to be directed toward things like dash cams that record all the time.

heres what this site says


Something not addressed in these tests is reliability. While flash memory is generally quite stable and resilient, in part because there are no moving parts, memory cards can and do fail. When choosing which cards to use myself, speed is one factor, but I also generally favor cards from well-established brands. And for normal use, those typically offer excellent performance. But I also like to keep at least one spare on hand–it’s hard to complete a shoot with a faulty memory card.

But if you’re choosing a memory card for what amounts to near-constant writing–such as with a dashcam or security cam that is constantly being overwritten–you might be better off in the long run with one of the specialized high-endurance cards that some brands offer, like these. They typically aren’t at the top of the speed charts, but they add extra peace of mind that the card should be able to tolerate very high numbers of write cycles.
