  1. Dang, I just discovered my expensive SD card I got from Sony is defective and the recall period ended a year ago. I tried to record some slow motion video and the camera was like "we need v90 for that."

    But it IS v90....

    I got it specifically so I would never have to worry about format limits, despite not having immediate plans for the high-end uses. At least it's still actually v90 for photos, just not for video, apparently. Oh well.

  12. First they came for the DDR5 RAM,
    and I did not speak out,
    because I was only interested in micro SD cards for my handhelds.

    ... Damn.

  14. I've learned the hard way that there is an enormous difference between microSD cards in the amount of power they need. When it comes to putting audio recorders out in nature, that matters a lot.

    As an example, I was just comparing my latest AudioMoth results with SanDisk Extreme 64GB cards compared with Samsung Pro Plus 128 GB cards last year.

    In the same device, with the same dawn-dusk daytime recording settings, on the same three fully-charged Powerex rechargeable batteries, the Samsung card recorded for four days (11 GB) before flattening the batteries, while the SanDisk cards recorded for 12 days (44 GB) before the flattening the batteries.

    Given that it takes a lot of time for me to get to these remote sites to deploy these recorders, this makes a big difference to how much data I get.

  16. Wow, this is really interesting. I have 8 SD-cards, 4 x 256GB Samsung Evo Plus and 4 x 512GB Samsung Evo Select.

    7 of those cards show big fluctions when transferring 200 to 300 GB videofiles off of them. But 1 card, the last one obviously, shows no fluctuations in transfer speed. It just stays maxed out.

    Other factors are as equal as you get over multiple days and reboots.

    So it does seem to be something about the SD-cards...

  18. How can I tell which is going to last the best in a hard working Raspberry Pi?
    I don't see any 'read/write cycles' data.

  20. restarting virtual disk service causes this

    for some reason our sd card causes virtual disk service to stall until we assign a drive letter to it and we cant assign a drive letter until we either reboot and use ext4fsd to assign a drive letter even though its not a linux file system

    even restarting the virtual disk service doesn't fix it

    if any want to help let me know

    in the meanwhile you get a task failed successfully

  23. Lexar’s SD 8.0 card support speeds up to 1700 MB/s, but there’s nothing to use it with

    Lexar has introduced a new SD card with theoretical read speeds up to 1,700 MB/s and write speeds as high as 1,000 MB/s. But the word “theoretical” is doing a lot in that sentence, because right now there are no compatible devices on the market that will let you use the card at those speeds… and there might never be.

    The new Lexar Profesional GOLD Pro SXDC Express Card is the first […]

  24. Dear Lazyfedi:

    I'm thinking about using #SDcards to store things for a long time (so, way more reads than writes). Are they better than #externaldisks (#ssd) in the long run?

  26. Finally got hit by fraudulent SD Cards from Lazada. Tested with f3. Gonna see if Lazada does anything about it.

  32. PSA for folks shopping for SD cards to slot into their cameras (copying a reply to a friend who asked about this)...

    "Next time you go shopping for SD cards, make it a V60 or higher. V ratings are the minimum sustained data rate, so a V60 card won't drop below 480mbps (60MB/s * 8 bits). Things like "300x" are all bullshit. That's max speed transfer for maybe 2 seconds then it drops to something useless."

  33. Whenever I have to deal with #fat32 formatted #sdcards, I usually have a hard time copying over large amounts of files (using the internal SD card reader in my Lenovo Z16 laptop).
    No matter if I use rsync or nautilus (#manjaro #gnome), at some point the copy usually fails with an error stating that the file system of the SD card is read-only.
    The only way I can get around this is to copy a maximum of 100 files or so at a time.
    Do others have similar problems? #linuxhelp
