I have 3x 64Gb micro SD XC cards labled Silver Crest (Lidl own brand).
They have been in use 24/7 for about 5 years now running motion cctv
software. They get over 2Gb of writes from the cameras every day and so
far have been trouble free.

I also have 5x 32GB Sandisk micro SD cards also running 24/7 for over 3
years in other Pi cctv systems. Same software and similar write/read
amounts. No problems so far.
