This is not about microSD cards. This is about some very specific SSD USB hard drives.
Not sure why people would buy these from SanDisk anyway. I generally use Micron for SSDs… they have made various solid state memory products for 20 or 30 years. Not sure where SanDisk came from… I have more heard about flash drives from them and have a bunch of small SD cards myself.
I’m aware of the difference. I was looking from the perspective of WD’s recent track record, with things like advertising DM SMR drives as NAS drives when they aren’t suited as such - I wouldn’t put it past them to make decisions negatively affecting the quality of their subsidaries’ other product segments
For SSDs I buy from any brand really - Sandisk, Crucial, Kingston, and occasionally knock off chinese brands. I like Micron’s offerings (particularly the MX series with PLP capacitor backup and very generous NAND overprovisioning) but you pay a small premium for those.
