Consumer flash cards are an example of a market where the purchaser has very little information to go on. The raw user available storage number is pretty misleading as the block remapping system (or absence of one) is a key determinant of reliability. The fact that SanDisk and other name-brand manufacturers make a practice of switching out the underlying parts without changing the part numbers make reviews pretty much useless.
