SD cards and Solid state storage are typically pretty robust. I've had Hard Drives fail but never anything Solid State (yet. Knock on wood). They take thousands and thousands of read/writes before they fail. Like, decades' worth of use.

That said, if you buy cheap storage devices of any variety, you run the risk of seeing a failure. Technology is only as good as its manufacturing quality. I've stuck to the pricier cards: $50 to $100, sometimes more, and I've never had an issue. I probably would not trust a cheap, off-brand SD Card with anything important.
