Probably it has bad sectors and damaged areas and that's why you weren't able to use the dd image for 64GB despite your card is in fact a 64GB one. Try it to do a full formatting of the card with SD-formatter and if the problem persists, you should get a new one, Sandisk or Samsung preferably and at least class 10 speed.
It's a brand new card, literally just out of the packet. I performed a full scan, no errors. Capacities of cards vary depending on the brand, it wasn't by much but this card was slightly under the image size so that's why it wouldn't work.
After reading more I suspect this is the random transfers issue, these SanDisk Ultra cards just don't seem suited for that. I'll verify in Ubuntu when I get the chance. It's a shame the PINE documentation isn't a bit more helpful in this respect, I've ended up buying this SanDisk for nothing. They should be keeping a recommended list of cards, not just saying "buy a class 10".
