A three-year endurance test involving 351 microSD cards has revealed significant performance variations among brands. Tech enthusiast Matt Cole's extensive project, which subjected cards to extreme conditions and wrote 133 petabytes of data, found that consumer-grade cards from brands like PNY, Kingston, Delkin Devices, Lexar, and Samsung performed well. Notably, Amazon Basics cards have shown no failures to date, though they were not formally ranked due to their generic nature. SanDisk emerged as an outlier with a higher failure rate compared to other tested brands. AI
