  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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...

  4. 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.

  5. Raspberry Pi has launched two new official accessories; Raspberry Pi-branded Class A2 microSD cards and a $3 Raspberry Pi Bumper snap-on silicone cover that protects the bottom edge of a Raspberry Pi 5 board. buff.ly/4eUoHro

  6. 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 […]

  7. 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?

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

  9. If you need two, this pair of TeamGroup cards from TrendMicro are supposedly faster for about the same price though amazon.com/dp/B0C8S68QV7

  11. 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."

  12. 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

  13. new 32gb high endurance micro SD cards for #PiStar and #ASL nodes

    Thanks to #dashcam community for the need for better and more reliable micro #sdcards

  14. SD memory card classes are a lot more than just a ‘class 10’ card now, as there is also the newer Application Performance Class

    A SanDisk SD card showing 256 GB of storage with A2 on it I used to just look for the symbol 10 encircled by the capital letter C as I remember that being the good card to get for cameras. Well things have moved on a lot further […]
