I don't know where my customer bought it, nor how long it took to fail and if it initially hinted about what was going to happen. I think it was only used in a camera. Speaking for myself: I had a Kingston (non micro-)SD, used for music in my car. Bought in 2010 from CDC (a now defunct Italian reseller), it failed in 2013: the car started skipping some songs; months later it started skipping whole albums. I guess I could have recovered all data (since failures were not systematic), but I had another copy, so didn't even try. When I tried reformatting it it gave SCSI errors. In Jan 2014, Kingston promptly replaced it and the new one has been working fine since. bye av.
