It baffles me that I've had 3 Samsung 128 GB cards fail in the same way (sudden read-only mode), in the last 4 or so years.Memory cards going into read only mode i think is a safety procedure in the controller, that feature are also still there on the even larger SD cards that do also have a little mechanical locking tab on the side.
It have been a while since i last experienced, or that is not long ago, but it was the first time in years.
I have had cards die regularly on me in cameras i test static in my living room window, that is often my smaller and oldest cards that i use there, and i have not bothered to look why the cards failed, just looked at the card some day and found the last recorded file was long ago, and then just throw it in my little plastic bottle, CUZ i am going to use the little memory cards for 100 M targets for my .177 air rifle this summer.
My PC ( fully updated windows 10 ) never coughed any warnings out for H2testW some have reported, could probably be a matter of the setting i use for Defender.
One died that in my Innovv K2 when I was running it on USB power. Never figured that one out. Switched to SanDisk High Endurance for all my dashcams.
The last two dead Samsung cards have been in game consoles, definitely not rough duty for an SD card.
At least the Samsungs seem to fail in read-only mode, so I can get my data copied off. Could be worse.
