I myself have not looked around for alternatives. The speed class isn't really relevant here; what you need is single-level cell (SLC). Swissbit also makes very good industrial cards. I would also trust Apacer, though I've not used their SD/uSD cards in particular. -Dave On 6/19/26 18:33, Martin A Flynn via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Mouser states they are on back order - Is there another Class 10 SKU that I can order?

I generally use SanDisk SDSDQED-008G-XI (8GB), SDSDQED-016G-XI (16GB), and SDSDQED-032G-XI (32GB). However, it looks like all three of these have switched to "non-stocked" at Mouser since I last ordered them. (!)
Remember that oversizing these will also increase their useful life due to wear leveling.

If someone can provide the preferred SKU, I can add a card to my next order.
Will be on site the 27th and can bring it down, or ship it directly to IA if it's needed sooner
Cheers!

It has been down for months, but I'm trying to get it addressed. As it turns out, Primus does not have the images.
