Unfortunately not - this is handled by the flash controller that is used in the cards.

But anyway, for an e-ink reader, with a very large card, I tend to put lots of dictionaries and lots of books - I add more books without removing the old ones, if the card still has lots of space, so, really not 300 writes, but more like 1.
And I stopped trying the internal formatting, I never use it, so I have all the size (the loss for many small files is acceptable) and probably more space is reserved for replacing the defective cells?
An external card - a win win win.

Well, but I can also use the 512 GB card externally via OSB-OTG, while some programs - e.g. Kiwix - require a lot of internal memory. Kiwix/Wikipedia (34 GB) does not have space in it and does not work with external (portable formatted) cards.
128 GB is enough space for me internally - Kiwix with Wikipedia (50 GB) and Calibre Companion library - and for external possibilities I can use USB-OTG e.g. 1 TB SSD NTFS (works with both, Ares and Alita).

Thanks for 8.1 for Ares.
Perhaps there is a newer firmware for Mimas too...
My Mimas currently has also 6.0.1
