      That does make me wonder how sd cards and ssd compare in terms of volume/tbw endurance. Does silicon have a typical lifespan per volume?

        Lifespan per NAND cell, which gets exponentially smaller with each extra ‘layer’ per cell. SLC can do billions of writes per cell, QLC is ~1000 writes per cell.
