Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoThey aren’t that unreliable FWIW. Obviously, it should not be your only copy of media, but I have microSD cards that are still readable with data intact even 10, 11, or more years later.

I feel it’s worth mentioning the application of them also factors into their longevity.
Good quality SD card holding some documents and random files? Yeah probably 10+ years. Good quality SD card being used in a dashcam, constant writes? I’m replacing my good SD card after about ~2 years of service because its showing signs of failure.

True. It’s all about the application.
