Hmm, well this is different from using an sd card in a raspberry pi but I use
several sd cards in mp3 players and a victor reader stream and stratus and in
my Mac's card reader. I insert and remove pretty frequently and have had most
of these cards for quite a while and I rarely have an sd card failure. Now that
i've said that, they will probably all go at once - grin! Again this doesn't
address your use with the pi; I'm just commenting on the concern about frequent
failure.
