+1 for what others are saying.
I've a 7 year old Sandisk SD card that has seen over 1,000 remove/inserts and no signs of falling apart. Same for a cheap no name microSD card.
I've seen a fake Transcend and Sandisk from ebay, both labled 32gb and crapped out at 2gb. There is some neat hax they do to make it show a 32gb cap but its only 2gb in reality. That person was pissed when I showed them the links about it.
