Ugh. That's all I use. 32GBs and 64GBs and they have never ever failed. Thanks for the heads up, time to look for deals. I used to use SanDisk but in the 5D3s and 5D4s the Lexar perform better... 29 raw images before buffer kicks in when shooting events.

Me too. The 4  128GB cards I use have never had any issues, and I have been very tough on them. (One sitting, forgotten,  on a railing in the rain all night)
Let's hope Micron does buy them out and continue the storage cards.

I tend to use them as well, but I've never had problems with most brands.  It's a great technology in general.  I've run one through the was and was still able to download the images and it continued to work just fine.

They are starting to go out of stock at Adorama & B+H. I grabbed a two-pack of 128's from Amazon today. $199, cheaper than SanDisk right now.
