    Universal Linux or Windows util. to check wear-level of MicroSD?

    I just got a Samsung 64GB class 10 MicroSD card upgrade after milking this Sandisk 32GB class 4 (was 6, but the warranty-swap they gave me a class 4 and it took so long to get, I didn't beach) microSD card for about 5-6+ years ago.

    So I am going to give my daughter this 32GB card, but just wondering...
    Anyone know of a universal wear-level checking util, or a native way to do it in Windows, or Linux?


    I already tried smartctl with no luck, diskovery-0.9.8.1 to no avail, and checked to see if defraggler v2.22.995 could display SMART stats and no health tab on this... so it appears S.M.A.R.T. is of no help on non-"feature" cards.

    w/smartctl, the closest I could get was:
    Code:
    root@deez:~# smartctl -dscsi -H /dev/sdg
    smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [x86_64-linux-4.4.14] (local build)

    Any helpful ninja-advice would be appreciated.

    With all the ninjas here, nobody has anything, or is there no way to tell?

      Likely the controllers on consumer SD cards are optimized for space considerations and power draw, and may not have the required circuitry to log or provide statistical context for wear leveling, which is done transparently and without management, if at all.
