SD Card Failure

[merlin]

For the first time since entering the digital format in April 2009, an SD card has failed.  It is a Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 GB SDHC UHS-II.

When I inserted it in the card reader, none of the files were useable.  The error messages indicate that the file info had been truncated.

I re-formatted the card in the camera and took some photographs.  Everything seemed fine, but when I inserted the card in the reader, it came up blank.  After huge anxiety that it was the camera and not the card, inserting a different one worked perfectly.

Cards are dirt cheap.  Replace and move on.  I own over 30+ cards. each one is dated and numbered.  Once they hit 3-4 years old, they get trashed whether they still work or not.
