Are you going to use the full 1 TB? How?
Writing 1 TB of videos will be too slow. On a Pi 4, you need at least the V30 speed rating to be useful. I find Sandisk Extreme and similar cards work at v30 speed. Some of the cheaper cards, labelled as V30, fail to meet V30 speed when I test them so I send them back for a refund. Australia has great consumer protection laws.![:D]( "Very Happy")
Writing 1 TB of small files, something like a Git server, will need the A1 rating. Run the Pi diagnostics speed test and look at the random write speed. Look for at least double the PASS speed. SSD will be noticeably faster and might save you several hours wait time per week.
Some brands with excellent reviews in the shops will work in a camera or a smartphone only when formatted by them. I had some that would read and write in a microSD adaptor in a Linux notebook but failed to boot in a Pi 4. Sent back to the shop.
For a file server, I recommend SSD. microSD cards do not read or write fast enough to make full use of network speed. For writing video from TV tuners, a good microSD card will handle only one channel. SSD can handle two or more.
