I know a lot of people claim that memory cards are so reliable that you do not have to worry about failure, but it still happens. I went outside last night to photograph the lunar eclipse and when I went to look at the photos this morning, the card was dead. Absolutely nothing! Like putting a cardboard cutout into the card reader!
I was shooting with a 7D2 and recording to both cards, the Sandisk CompactFlash card has the images, the Lexar SD card is toast. This is why I like to shoot important events with a dual card setup; the likelihood of card failure may be low, but when it happens you are screwed without a second card.
