Huh?  I was trying to say that SamSung and PNY Just Work..

I've been working with a single 64GB PNY since before my heart attack 
last fall, installing raspbian buster about 2 weeks after it was 
released.

I've added two SSD's to that kit, putting a swap big enough to work on 
one of them, a 120GB unit on a startech sata-usb3 cable, and a 240GB 
used as workspace to build a realtime kernel, source is 3.5GB but the 
output is only 30 megs and have built a git clone of LinuxCNC at least 
20 times since, installing the whole thing to that PNY, along with 
keeping that raspian image uptodate 2 or 3 times a week, when I wasn't 
in the shop getting my ticker fixed.

That PNY hasn't even lost the dot over a lowercase i in all that.  You 
could say I've gone to heroic lengths to keep scratchpad writes away 
from it though.  With only around 6GB actually written to the that 
micro-sd card I expect its wear leveling to survive several years & 
maybe me. But I've got stuff to do that needs warmer weather and no 
wind. Cabin fever has set in & I'm sick of the rain, its too darned 
biblical...
