I will never buy another Sandisk product. They are as unreliable as cheap microcenter flash drives now. I’ve been burned too many times, and couple of those time were literal burns too!
Comment on Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site
xthexder@l.sw0.com 23 hours agoThe SD card was from inside a titanium cased underwater camera that was mounted outside the hull. It wasn’t actually in the implosion, it just survived the shockwave (which was probably 1000s of Gs, so still impressive)

funny how you downplay it all the way till the end, and anything surviving 1000s of Gs is incredibly impressive.

Well, it’s an order of magnitude less force than the “server room” experienced, considering the whole rack of computers was compressed into a solid mass.
SanDisk SD cards are actually rated for up to 500Gs, and with how light the SD card is, it can survive these indirect impacts more easily. “1000s of Gs” is just a completely random estimate considering how some of the other heavier internal camera parts were damaged (a circuit board connector sheared off).

Meh, I could probably do it.

Survive 1000s of Gs?
Good luck.
