I recently purchased a 3 pack of these off eBay for $30 shipped. They came today… I’m actually pretty happy with the performance I’m seeing here.
These should make good OS / Boot disks for Raspberry Pis and other SBCs. I needed a couple and well, I’m cheap. Industrial should be a good thing here, but I guess we’ll see down the road. I’d definitely put my money on one of these versus a no-name card.
Things like system and application logs and other frequent write operations can lead to the early death of an SD card. The “industrial” branding on these microSD cards usually refers more to environmental durability than to being optimized for heavy write workloads. (As I understand it, anyways) That means they’re rated to withstand wider temperature ranges, humidity, and vibration; conditions you might see in industrial machines, automotive systems, or outdoor electronics.
