The Corsair Flash Voyager® GTX USB 3.1 128GB Premium Flash Drive looks 
like it has SSD performance.  But, I do not see any endurance 
specifications.


> What's high-endurance in your terms?


I am unable to find manufacturer specifications to quantify what "high 
endurance" means, but I do own a 128 GB SanDisk High Endurance microSD 
card and that is where I heard the phrase:

https://www.westerndigital.com/products/memory-cards/sandisk-high-endurance-uhs-i-microsd#SDSQQNR-032G-GN6IA


So, another option is to use this SD card with machines that have an 
SDXC port, or to use this SD card with a USB adapter for machines that 
do not.
