RE: with every fabrication process shrink, memory becomes cheaper but more unreliable

My Raspberry Pi runs off an 8 GB micro SD card. After too many failures I switched to the more expensive cards. These seem to be somewhat better. Operating system updates and software builds are particularly hard in terms of write overhead. Running my embedded system is not a problem, because it is designed to write very little data to the card, and that only on system shut down.

Based on my track record with smaller cards, I'm not likely to shell out the money for a larger SD card. It probably would work OK for holding a small library of reference tracks, but to use it to shuttle daily listening music seems risky, in addition to inconvenient as you pointed out earlier.
