Before the brand name Lexar got sold off, Lexar was a Micron subsidiary. That's where Lexar got its good rep from, because Micron is a reliable, premiere memory manufacturer, as in, they make their own stuff and don't have to source memory chips from anyone else. If reliability is important to you, buy from Micron, Solidigm (Hynix-Intel), Samsung, SanDisk-WD, Kioxia (Toshiba) if at all possible, to ensure you get A-grade memory.
If you buy from anyone else, you don't know where they sourced their memory from. This "Longsys" Chinese company may well just shove whatever is cheapest to buy each week, into their cards, including buying from less-reliable memory makers (smaller Chinese manufacturers).
Basically the big players like SanDisk feed themselves first, and any surplus or B-grade memory (bad batches that got more defects and can't be trusted to run at proper speeds, etc.) get sold to smaller players.
Some non-manufacturers like Kingston do enough of its own testing, and have long-term contracts so as to avoid the "memory roulette" issue where the label is the same month to month, but the memory might not be. So I'd regard Kingston as almost as good as buying direct. Still, it's better to buy from the actual manufacturers directly, to avoid guessing games as much as possible.

Imma have to note the micro center ones test well but things lag in 5 minutes after years of heavy use (I guess maybe I should've stress tested for an hour) . My team group has all but died. An it makes my phone mess up cause it doesn't notify me the storage is faulty ; it just doesn't do anything . I had others die as well. My Samsung cards didn't ever die. So if worried about quality an storing important data; I wouldn't play around
1 TB card in my switch for over a year, so far so good
I wouldn't trust it. That is a lot more sustained writing than it was meant for, being marketed as a game drive. More reads and writes means more heat. Heat being the main enemy of these cards, if it isn't well equipped to tolerate that heat, likelihood of failure goes up.
So is this a better card? Price tells me no, but I want something that's 1tb or bigger with the performance I got from the Samsung 256GB Pro Plus that I started with.

Ordering a Lexar from Amazon, I'd be much more worried about the odds of getting a counterfeit Lexar than getting a real Lexar and it being poor quality. (Same for any other company, for that matter)
