The one in my dash cam has been going for a year or two now. I pull video off it fairly regularly. It's the branded rove 4k one.

Maybe that one is specifically made to work for that application. Are you confident that you could go out and buy a replacement SD card in a general electronics store and get something which would be as robust?
The one in my dash cam is a SanDisk you can buy anywhere. It's got a good two years on it, works fine. Same in the Pi-hole, it was so long ago that I don't remember when I put that card in. More than three or four years, I'm pretty sure.

In fact, though I don't use a lot of SD cards, I don't recall having one go bad. I'm sure it's happened, but obviously not often enough for me to remember.
