Most of the SD cards can handle hundreds of full drive writes. At 128GB, you're looking at needing to generate about ~25TB of effective writes before you'd wear them out. Even with a crazy 10x write amp (typical is 2-3), there's no way you'd get that through an interface that's measured in the tens of MB/s. Warner Warner
