Class 10 SanDisk has always been good to me.
There are a lot of fakes out there so trust your supplier
Ok i never fully understood how classes worked . Do they only increse speed which i don't care for ? Or do they increase cycles and life ? If so why don't they just tell you that or make the long life sd's the standard, why sell a cheaper ones ? like everyone buying an sd is counting on it lasting right ? People like me who just goes to a shop buy an sd with the storage we need and get out don't think about classes or anything .
The class rating is more about data rates though to achieve higher speeds you tend to need to manufacture to a higher tolerance.
I tend to install a lot of these for media playback so a higher data rate to me is preferred.
In my experince ive only known 4-5 cards to die in the last 5 years.
Although sd cards have limits for write cycles in data sectors and theoretically have unlimited reads. When cards have failed for me in the past they are undergoing high read rates to the same sector.
