To me, it just doesn't matter what the media is. I've had too many shocking sudden hard drive failures over the years. I've been very lucky with SD cards and eMMcs. I was very skeptical of them but I really abuse them and have only had one or two failures in years. Backups are just necessary. I regularly backup everything I have to two separate hard drives (sequential duplicates, each one is everything) which are stored in a fire safe in a cool dry place. Well not everything. I also have a bunch of QICs and Video 8s, and floppy disks, which are all somewhat worrisome.
