I have been working from home for 4 years now and I love it. I don't have a boss standing over my shoulder and I make my own hours. The tips below are very informative and anyone currently working from home or planning to in the future could use these.Make 5000 bucks every month...

I suspect they are artificially limited to keep heat down.
The SD cards in my dashcam only needs 16MB/sec to record 2160p H265 in a loop but the cards all get extremely hot. They fail annually - the dashcam just reports recording error and I pop another 64GB card in. I tried a high endurance card from Samsung a few years ago and it failed after a year too, in the summer when the temps in the vehicle are high (especially where the camera is mounted at the top of the windshield) so I don't bother wasting money on premium cards and just buy cheapies, keeping a spare in the center console for when one eventually fails.
Bought a SanDisk Cruzer 8GB USB stick. Became read only. Bought a 32GB one. Became read only. Couldn't even format them. Got in touch with SanDisk only to be told "it's your fault". My SanDisk microSD card stopped being detected and started overheating in my card reader. And there are my memory cards and USB keys from Kingston and especially Verbatim, respectively that are older and still work to this day. Same for my EVO microSD cards from Samsung. No trouble.
I'm never touching SanDisk again after this experience. I hope none of you who bought SSDs from them have had to go through this.
So don't be fooled by those "15 year warranty" claims. They couldn't fulfill basic 2yr warranty obligations for a regular USB drive, let alone a 15yr ones. They'll put the blame on you and there goes your data and your initial peace of mind.
I sent a 480 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD for RMA after using it for a few years and got a new one back with minimum fuss. Just had to answer a few questions and provide a screen-shot of the error.
cruzer-branded sticks were the absolute shit-tier stuff tho, cheap as hell, and never expected to have any performance or longevity. you got basically what you paid for.

They're both reversed ?;-p

What sandisk probably did is to use the same NAND memory size and type across the whole line up. Thus, the price difference while capacity decreases.Slash3 - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link

The color is all you got from "15 year warranty"?Ahnilated - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link
Those are horrible write speeds. :(BushLin - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link
Great write speeds for an SD card though, if the figures are accurate.Samus - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link

maybe because faster write causes worse NAND endurancePaazel - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link

There are higher speed options if maximum endurance isn't your requirement.3ogdy - Thursday, March 19, 2020 - link

Same, I did this with the exact same SSD and got a replacement with a screenshot of a SMART error. Was quick as well.timecop1818 - Sunday, March 22, 2020 - link

Why they still don't specify TBW or DWPD ratings for "endurance" product?
