Ask HN: What do you do with your Raspberry Pi?

I had an SD card once that would not fail to write (i.e. kernel does not show write errors) but when you read back it gets the old data. Tried it on multiple operating systems with the same behavior.

It was a more expensive SD card because I see more issues with cheap ones.

But it seems to me that SD cards suck at all price brackets. Maybe even some of the expensive ones are counterfeit?

You get a lot more money counterfeiting the expensive ones than the cheap ones.

In my experience, Sandisk have a much better warranty policy than the other cards that have failed on me. RMAs get approved, UPS prepaid sticker for return, and replacement sent by UPS (in Europe, at least). The failure rate of their cards doesn't seem different than others I've used.

Did you buy the SD card from Amazon or Ebay?
