I keep seeing mixed advice on SD cards for Raspberry Pi. Some people say speed matters most, others say reliability is everything. I have had cheap cards fail and corrupt installs, so I am trying to avoid that this time. Has anyone tested cards like SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB SDXC UHS-I Card or Samsung EVO Select 128GB microSD Card for long running Pi setups?

I have used the Samsung EVO Select for over a year in a Pi running 24 7 and it has been solid with no corruption issues.
It's only banter... mostly

SanDisk Extreme Pro is faster in benchmarks but honestly for Pi workloads I noticed reliability matters more than raw speed.

I switched from cheap cards to the Samsung EVO line and all my random crashes stopped so I would not go back.

If you are running databases or logs the better endurance cards like those two are worth it in my experience.
