SD cards are the literal worst.

they've expanded to be the size of small hard drives, and devices like the rpi keep using them as boot media, but they:

- use garbage tier low endurance flash cells internally
- have little to no overprovisioning for wear
- perform only the most basic wear levelling
- have no protocol level integrity checking
- have few internal error correction features, if any
- decay comparatively quickly without patrol scrubs
- do not perform patrol scrubs
- cannot do PLP

@gsuberland also made worse by the pi foundation pretending that unregulated usb power is fine, a platform that draws more current than suitable for non PD usb and SD cards pretty much assuming that power will totally be fine.
@xssfox @gsuberland you mean the raspberry pi company, they haven't been led by a public benefit for a while now.
