SD cards, SSD, USB drives, any form of computer memory really and replacement batteries too eg for cameras. I suck up the cost and buy directly from a reputable manufacturer.
Electronics in general are you get what you pay for. It might work just as well for a while, but cheaper components will almost always fail quicker.
Apple is kinda a mixed bag in this regard. Sometimes the extra premium you paid is worth it because it lasts ten years, sometimes it breaks in six months because a single pin got bent in some critical internal connector. And sometimes they intentionally slow down old iPhones.
Apple products are so incredibly overpriced, they are never worth the money.

Dual memory card camera. Copy after each shoot onto two different storage devices. (Eg laptop and external drive).
Agree for the expensive stuff, but started buying cheap usb sticks a few years back and yet to have one go bad. They aren’t as quality as fidget toys, no moving parts, but they do the job they were made for, unless you drive over them with a car or something.
