Samsung & Transcend SD/mSD have always errored/failed on me with power outages on Pi without additional power management hardware & software.

Having push to eject NVMEs brings forth a future where you can swap out LLMs/brains in K2SO type droid

Some USB charging cables are just rubbish. I measured a few of mine to be over 1 Ohm, ie supplying 4V at 1A current draw!

After measuring and throwing away all the rubbish cables, I've not had any weird power issues with my Pis, and not any issues with SDcards.

Replacing my RPi with an ODROID with eMMC slot has been such a massive improvement to reliability for my SBC use - it's running much cooler, doesn't have bizarre power problems, is way more performant and seems much more stable. Price was about the same too.

When I have to, I used Sandisk (WD) Industrial XI SD cards that have to be purchased from an electronics supplier. Zero problems ever.
