I am interested in this Lenovo 2TB microSD card: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306109140125

Question 1
I once bought a 1TB microSD card. It stopped working after I wrote to it only twice. So I'm now afraid of these high-capacity microSD cards. How about the quality of this Lenovo 2TB microSD card? Will it die on the same day I receive it, or the next day?

Question 2
Can this SD card reader write that Lenovo 2TB microSD card?

That is an absolute fake drive.
It is NOT "Lenovo".

A real "2TB microSD" starts around $200.
Not $8.

To be fair, the 2TB is actually $16. :) Only the "Card Reader" is $8.

I love these specs. You can PHOTOGRAPH the 16GB model that doesn't exist! Oops, did they miss a spot when they did a search and replace in the text that showed the true capacity?
* The capacity is up to 16GB, which can be photographed, carried, and completely saved

Your luck may vary, but an even cheaper multi-card reader I bought on AliExpress for $4 will not read modern high capacity SD cards or Compact Flash cards. It works fine with a 2009 vintage 8GB Kingston CF card and a 16GB SD card, but fails to detect higher capacity cards.

I use Kingston FCR-HS3 and FCR-HS4 readers. Alternatively, consider Lexar, Sandisk, Nikon, Sony, etc.

Expect to pay $25 upwards for a good quality multi card reader.

So I'm now afraid of these high-capacity microSD cards.
I've got a dead Samsung EVO 256GB microSD card bought on the Amazon Samsung site and tested with h2testw. After 3 years in my smartphone, it stopped working. No great loss apart from the money.

If you need a 2TB card, consider this:

Or this:

Not exactly cheap though.
