I am more concerned with the fact that many won't work reliably in PCs and some can't even be formatted in ntfs.
They seem to work more reliably in cameras.
I have to heavily junk my inbox against sd card and usb thumb drive promotions as I am now very discerning about what removable media devices I buy.
By coincidence, I discovered that SLC thumb drives work best and fastest.

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.

Class 10, Ultra, 45MB/s are just labels. In reality none of these shape up to claims and this is buying from major names and large retailers.
Some cards just don't like PCs and Windows. I actually think that it is the controllers which are not sorted.
There are many cheapish Chinese SD card players but there is no telling what player software is embedded. I may try a few at shops when I visit and see what they can do. It is still unwise to pay for large cards for hires music.
On my modified Korg MR1, I actually chose to use a 1.8 in ssd and not a sd card because of the number of modders who had trouble getting them to work with brands other than Photofast .
