One way to lock up your SDCard is outlined at rorpi - read only raspberry pi + weewx: now with scripts <https://github.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi> Making the / filesystem 100% read-only should go some way to ensuring the SDCard will stay around longer. While it mentions using USB sticks and hdd drives as writable alternatives, the responses in this thread regarding those will be more useful to you. (FWIW, I find the RAID 1 USB stick setup intriguing!)
Interesting that you've lost so many cards, and have eliminated your power supply as a problem. How busy is your system? If you run iotop (apt-get install iotop) what does it show? <https://github.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi/wiki/rorpi-raspberrypi-preinstall#Disk_access_viewing_with_iotop_oaP> Are you using mysql? It's a lot busier when it comes to disk access. Also, are you only generating the one skin on the pi? If you have multiple skins (testing them out or whatever) the image files tend to add up ( I bricked an 8gb Sandisk Cruzer doing this ), especially at archive intervals less than 5 minutes.
