Sounds too cheap, are you sure it's not a fake?

Local reputable store, f3 had no complaints and is the claimed size. Samsung wanted a copy of the receipt and a photograph of the back of the card itself before replacing it so presumably they're satisfied it's legit. It might've been on sale for a few bucks off, I don't recall. Newegg has it for $15. shrug
The usage was just as a boot drive no user data: EFI FAT, ext4 /boot, Btrfs / using zstd and ssd_spread as the mount options.
FAT will mount ro or rw, but any writes fail
Ext4 is similar but a lot more complaints from the mmc block driver, including an SDHCI REGISTER DUMP [1] which I can't make heads or tails of, but this is somewhat more revealing: Btrfs also has lots of complaints [2] but mainly because it never gives up trying to write. So cancel that and mount with '-o ro,norecovery' and everything is there. One thing you'll see in the Btrfs output, is "corrupt 10" which is not a current event, just a counter that I never reset. A few months ago I did have a data file (not fs metadata) become corrupt which Btrfs caught. I was able to reinstall the RPM that provided that file. So who knows how that corruption would manifest without being caught by the file system.The blkdiscard command succeeds without error, but also doesn't actually do anything, all data is still there.
