I had problems with Samsung and SanDisk cards, which worked fine in a GoPro, and troubleshooting the weird Pi symptoms was aggravating. So I tried aMLC cards from ATP and have had zero issues. They cost significantly more (~$20/ea for 4GB @ qty 10 from Digikey w/shipping) but it’s worth avoiding the hassle to me.

Obviously 4GB is not a lot, so I use tmpfs and USB storage as appropriate.

According to SanDisk support[0] they only support the High Endurance line of SD Cards[1] for Raspberry Pi.

Interesting, I definitely have not tried those yet. The Sandisk cards performed consistently worse in my experience, but I figured that could be anecdotal, and I had plenty of issues with Samsung as well.
