minus-squarerdri@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months ago Worst part is that SD cards don’t have SMART, meaning you don’t know when they’ll die. I mean, SMART doesn’t help much with knowing about HDDs’ death either. It’s more often they don’t show up at all, so you can’t even check SMART.
