My personal experience with the RaspPi and the SD cards is the card slot in the Pi brokes with ease, so I avoid switching the cards as much as posible. Any minimal lost of contact between the card and the slot leads to a corrupted and (usually) unrecoverable filesystem, so my VAXen are in a real HD, and my cards are really microSDs inserted into an adapter, which is inserted into the Pi and is never moved out.


Hmm, never actually changed the SD card in my Pi, it's sort of a fire-and-forget device for me, seems very reliable though (uptime = 334 days, and the last reboot was due to a power outage) - aside from the physical problems you pointed out..
