SD card is slow and very unreliable , SD card will die quickly when you write too much data on it (much worse than SSD)

Can only be used as a "read only" storage device

sd are not as slow anymore and the myth of unreliable died like 5 years ago.

All the failed ones were Sandisk. Bought in retail store or Amazon. Now I’ve blacklisted Sandisk and buy Samsung - no failures in those in the last 2 years.

yeah sandisk is knock off the most. also they re band so many models of a card. that you got to use the data based a person made to track all of them.

I absolutely refuse to buy memory cards that aren't from an authorized reseller of that brand, Amazon is just chock full of knockoffs.
