I had them all fail on me, tranacend - kingston - lexar - PNY and Sandisk, i have just gotten my first Samsung card ( red & white PRO model ) so 100% in tune with the Danish flag colors, and only a splash of blue from the American.
I am also running Toshiba cards now, but i have yet to have one of them die, oldest one are about a year old, though it have not seen consecutive use in that period, its also what i have in my phone.
Mostly their replacement have been performing normal so no second drop of mood when they finally died.
I also had expensive water cooled OCZ RAM die on me, and my current setup with 4 X 8 Gb Crusial RAM i also had one module die on me after a year or two.
I have never had CPU die on me though i have often / almost always been running them well over their specified speed, and motherbords also been fine for me though some i have even soldered additional components to them in order to ramp up voltages om some things.
I think luck play in a little too, the perpetual loose cannon in most games.
ATM i have a 64 Gb kingston card running in my innovv C3 camera, it have never been formatted in camera or PC since install, and that's since the C3 came out so at least 2 years, probably 3 if i know my memory right.
