Question about Samsung Evo+
After a Samsung Micro SDXC card (64GB) "died" on me for the umpteenth time and all the data on it was lost, I am looking for a card that is more robust and durable than this Samsung junk. Specifications: Write performance at least 4x total capacity, better more, Intended use: in a Xiaomi smartphone as additional memory, Lifetime at least 4 years, better longer, It should be able to cope with constant reading of the files on it, 7x24h in operation, apart from rebooting the smartphone, it should also be able to cope, Capacity 64GB, better even 128GB, if necessary also 32GB still acceptable, Does anyone have a tip for such a micro SD card? I don't care about the price, it can cost several times as much as the Samsung's, the main thing is that it lasts!

Hello, has the card always become defective in the same device? I can only recommend this one, I have never had any problems with it, but I don't use it to the extent you describe.
Sandisk Extreme Pro microSD A2 (microSDXC, 128 GB, U3, UHS-I)
The first card was used in an action cam and died in a card reader on a PC while being read. It was no longer recognised, no reformatting or reading possible, not even in other devices.
The second card died in my old Samsung smartphone, but was also used in the Actioncam. The card was also no longer readable and was also no longer recognised by various devices.
The third card that gave up the ghost yesterday was in the Xiaomi smartphone from the beginning and was always used in it without ever being removed, a good year old. When taking photos with the smartphone, it caused the phone's system to crash, and after restarting, the phone prompted me to format the "newly" inserted card. I then removed it and have now been trying for a good 24 hours with various tools on the PC to read out the card and save the data. So far unsuccessful, supposedly no data available. Unlike its predecessors, the card is correctly recognised as a 64GB version. The currently defective card was well filled with data, mainly photos, map material from a navigation app and a few PDFs.
Personally, I suspect a defect in the memory controller on the card or a defective connection between this and the actual memory. I have dropped the smartphone a good 4 times so far without any damage, but it is quite possible that the SD card did not fare so well.
