There are different WL algorythms, with variing cost and efficiency. SDcards have a poor algorythm; eMMC chips are much better (I have bought true eMMC cards with MMC-SD adater); I am also giving a try to Sandisk cards certified for video recording (said to be 2y waranty, but with a much greater write cycles).
I had bought a Transcend Premium 3y ago; used it less than 10y; it died yesterday while I was trying to wirte 1G on it; it was a rescue storage (backup) for critical file (there is no data loss for me because those data are store on 5 disks); so in short, I wrote 2G 3y ago, left the card in a safe for 3y, and tried to update the content. The card burnt after 5mn. The presence of card is detected by adapter at electrical level, but the volume has 0B (zero byte). After checking, Transcend have only 1y waranty; that’s why I prefer Sandisk: Ultra cards are given for 5y, Extreme for 10y. And even if high endurance are only 2y, they have 10x bigger write cycle.
