I've had a Sandisk and another manufactures cards fall apart, case split
on the seam, first indication of a mechanical failure was the write
protect tab falling off and getting lost, (they're just impossible to
find). They were still readable and fit in the *ist-Ds memory slot with
tape over the opening where the write protect tab was supposed to go.
The fact that the tape also held the two halves of the case together was
an extra bonus. The card slot on the K20D has much tighter tolerances
and the tape made the cards too thick for insertion. The broken cards
were small capacity though 1and 2 gig. respectively, so replacement
wasn't all that painful. However CF cards are for all their faults much
more robust. Somewhere I still have the 1 gig Sandisk card that I caught
my dog tossing in the air and catching when he was puppy. If it was an
sd card he would have swallowed it.

In truth, there are a number of web sites that have tested and rated
cards, and the Sandisk Extreme is most frequently recommended. That is
in synch with what most of the photographers here have said and my own
experience. Here's one
review:http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-sd-card/
that review is a hearty mélange of objective and subjective sources
all the objective reviews i've seen rate for speed, but not for
reliability,
yet reliability is what the SanDisk mythology makes people think they
are getting
