How many SD cards have you bricked?

Hmm. There were probably already issues with that card, and it was going to die out anyway.

Awesome! Yeah, I have had good luck with those Sandisk Ultras as well. :cheers:

I did steal that card from an old HTC phone so no guarantee with quality there! Hope it was bad because I would like to do some cool projects with the Pi. Seems like a great little machine but bricking the card in the first 5 minutes had me worried. I just don't want to have to treat the thing like it's made of glass. I'll shut down properly though the software going forward, but man if my little guy starts walking soon and decides to go chew on daddy's little gaming rig and pull it out of the wall I could have problems.

Awesome, good to hear Vigo.

Just an update. The new sandisk card is working like a champ. Guess you get what you pay for. I have emulation station up and running with all of the base consoles (nes,snes,sms,gen,tg16) I need to go in and change the artwork (genesis > mega drive) >:D for some of the stuff and scrape the data, maybe change the base theme a bit but overall it works great.
The power switch is really nice, It just cuts power on the cable so you don't have to keep unplugging it from the wall when your done.

I've corrupted cards by just pulling the plug.
But, since I setup my gpio's to run the halt command when a button attached to them is pressed I've had zero issues.
