The bigger concern with cheap cards is often whether they even deliver the
advertised capacity.  Consider this:

https://www.amazon.com/-/dp/B08L95DWDY/

$16 for 1 TB?  You can't even get spinning rust that cheap.  If it sounds
too good to be true, that's because it is.

https://www.amazon.com/-/dp/B08HCPTMJG/

$230 for 1 TB is closer to what you'd expect, with 512-GB options ranging
from $65 to $100.  (It's also SanDisk, instead of a company you've never
heard of.)
