4 years is great for an SD card. In my area, I’ve found that some shop’s SD cards/pen-drives just don’t work well with the PBP/Olimex, mainly sold by Spar covering all major name brands. I don’t know what the cause is, but I made a post-it a year ago not to buy any pen-drive or SD card from them, due to the high failure rate.
It’s really odd, because the same brands work when purchased through Media Markt, so I think it must be how they process incoming inventory.
I’ve recently changed to AliExpress for SD cards and they’ve been working well; I won’t give links, as this is not an advertisement. I can however say: Avoid “Shop1100281068 Store” as their products only work for about 4 months.
