I can imagine this being useful for cases where you write a lot of data over a longer time period. Think CCTV (with low-medium resolution). You can keep a sizeable archive locally and never have to swap cards

Oh yeah cctv could be a good option indeed.

I assume larger capacity means longer endurance, too, since you're not constantly rewriting the same cells.

It's SanDisk, I expect the opposite - that every cell increases the volatility and chance of catastrophic failure.
