I have had luck with most cards in my M9 but it did go back to Solms for the sensor repair so...? On the other hand I have had just about everybodies cards fail on me; so far only when formatting after downloading files. Doesn't format hits the trash; I format after every download and do carry a lot of SD cards with me as they are cheap and you do need storage whether silver or doped silicon. Everybodies mileage varies as quality on name brand cards is very good and failure is rare: the point is to be prepared for failure of your equipment and notice when things act up. All the bes.
