I have to second the assertion that even the comparatively pricy SanDisk =
Ultra SD cards can fail in production scenarios all the time, nor do =
they even need to be used in a more advanced filesystem role.  I go =
through a lot of those cards just using them to shoot a lot of GoPro =
footage (video and still photos) and  I usually get a few weeks out of =
each card, filling it almost entirely with footage several times a day, =
before it write locks and is ready for the bin.  This is why I also =
shoot a lot of redundant footage with multiple GoPros, and anyone using =
these cards extensively for digital photograph or video will tell you =
the same.
