the way I see it, I've had hard drives die on me, I've had flash drives die on me, I have yet to have a tape die on me

I know that SD cards aren't quite flash drives, but I can't imagine they aren't susceptible to random crapping out, and sure I've purchased tapes that were crap from go, but I didn't waste an hour of my time and energy taping precious memories just to have them magically zapped out of existence, I tossed it when my camera wouldn't read it and moved on, and at 2 (theoretical) dollars, I didn't lose much

you know way more about this technology stuff than I do, and would probably do the reasonable thing and make 47 copies of you're files so they don't disappear forever, I on the other hand, don't have the resources or knowledge to do that, so I store everything I tape on 3 hard drives and in 4 shoe boxes full of tapes, cause I'm cool like that

this is the first I've spent more than a second looking at SD cards for vidja, it's pretty sweet that they have moved on from hard drives that everyone was creaming their jeans about 2 years ago, but I (personally) am not sold on it yet
