they’re more reliable but they still wear out, but i don’t really think it’s a problem you need to worry about, just have in the back of your mind that you’ll want to make a backup after a while so you’re not sitting there with a dying sd card with all your data on it.
But also IIRC flash storage specifically fails to write data as it wears out, so it’s not like the data is gone.
Hmm, for now only about the general fragility, due to cheap controllers and low quality flash. But i think i have an article about this saved somewhere.
Btw, if you reformat an SD, I/O and lifetime will fall sharply, due to some block size parameters differing, above mentioned article goes in detail about this stuff.
I’d like to know more about this- as far as I know they are solid state, meaning no moving parts (ergo more reliable)
