Question How do I know if a SD card, SSD or eMMC is SLC, MLC, TLC or QLC?

[Wing901]

Are there any programs to check it?

It's usually stated in the specs of the card in question. You can also try and look up the make and model of the card across the www and see if there are reviews on them. With that being said, what drive are you trying to verifying if it's authenticity?

I just wanted to figure out the life span of all kinds of non-volatile storage, especially eMMC.

Solid state lifespan does not depend on SLC/QLC/etc.
Well, partially, maybe. But it is NOT a specific determinant of lifespan.

But any software (which I don't think exists) would only be useful after you bought the drive.

Be careful. ChipGenius may be infected, depending on the source.

This should be OK, though:
