[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 680063, member: 43545"] They do fail a lot, everyone I ever talked with who shoots a lot and does file transfer from a card reader has had card failure, either mechanical where the case separates and the locking tab breaks or a data loss problem with either contact or the memory die itself fails. CF cards fail with bend pins and occasionally pins get stuck in the socket so inserting a new CF ruins that one also. They work well in set and forget applications where only pulled out rarely, by doing cable transfers. That latter option is slow. It was a bad enough problem that the manufacturers pooled resources and designed a pro-rated system that overcame the frequent problems with SD and the well-known CF pin alignment problem that could cause an expensive body repair. The XQD has resolved the problem, although it is more expensive. [/QUOTE]
