Comment on Best way to keep a hot spare SD card for a raspberry pi?
traches@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoI have a decent Samsung card in there now, it might survive. Can’t remember what brand the one that failed was, but I don’t tend to buy crappy ones

Which cards are you using? Just because it’s samsung doesn’t mean it’s good.
My dashcam uses mostly this “SanDisk 256GB High Endurance Video” SD card, and my backup is a 512gb Samsung Pro Plus (not rated for dashcam use). For anything that I want reliability I use one of these SanDisk cards, that Samsung, or a SanDisk extreme that I bought the other day. My “I don’t really care about this, but I’d like it to not fail” cards are Samsung Evo Select drives (or something green and Samsung). Only my “I really don’t give a shit about these” drives are those $3 Microcenter cards.
