Great to hear!

Beware of even brand name SD cards. I've seen people stung with fake SanDisks before. Make sure you get them from a good store that's sure to be buying legit, or one that you've got definite reviews of legitimacy.

@micah yeah,I don't think anyone is under any illusions about random eBay/aliexpress SD cards being legit.

I was surprised at how bad they can be though. I thought that maybe they'd not last a long time, be slow, or error sometimes. Instead, it corrupted itself constantly.

Yeah, sounds a lot like your SD card. I had the same issue when I first got a raspberry pi, dodgy SD cards are a nightmare. Only get them from places you can be sure of authenticity, even brand name ones can be fakes that constantly corrupt themselves.
