As I wrote below, I've been at it for 20+ years.
I also work in a field that handles 100,000 of devices,
each and every one has flash memory for software storage and parameters.
I'd say they're pretty reliable nowadays; not perfect but very reliable.
And then; when the storage device becomes 3 to 5 years old, you often
replace it...
as you can buy a much larger replacement cheaply, so "natural
replacement" takes place.
I have had a couple instances only (less than five) go bad,
out of a good bunch (can't tell a number),
and those happened _more_ than 3 years back.
So my advice; relax, and replace before it is "old".

I don't recommend deleting files from the memory when copying to your
computer. Copy the files, then format it in camera.
Yes, memory cards (and flash memory) is much more reliable these days,
but statistics still favor the copy + format procedure.

For those inclined to do Bash-scripting, here a hint (excerpts
from) on what i have active;
Moving images from any temporarily mounted Flash-card to
date-named folders/dirs
/(manually started Bash script)/
todir='/ImageStore/%Y/%Y-%m-%d/RAW/%Y-%m-%d_%Hh%Mm%Ss';
for dir in $( find 2>/dev/null /media/$USER/*/DCIM -maxdepth
0 -type d -printf '%p\n' | tr ' ' '§');
do
( exiftool -v -r -ext JPG -ext NEF -ext TIF -ext PNG -d
"$todir" \
'-filename<${createdate}_${model;tr/
/_/}-${ShutterCount;s/^.*(....)$/$1/}.${filetypeextension}'\
"$dir" ) 2>&1 | grep --color=auto -Ev '======== |Setting
new values|Created directory ';
...
done
The copy-and-rename+delete is done by exiftool, making the images
end up in a subfolder to /ImageStore/ (soft link to actual location)
An image 'original' ends up in a subfolder named
YYYY/YY-MM-DD/RAW/ with a filename reflecting the Date&Time it was
taken with the file's (4 last digits of) shuttercount and camera
(DCIM subfolder) name appended.
This is the way I've had it for 20+ years, over several different
cameras.
MTP-type (garbage) connection to the camera ? Use a card reader.

Hello everyone,
I have a [noob] question regarding importing the images from the
memory card. Is there an option in dt for physically removing
files directly from the memory card after [successful] import? If
not, what's the default workflow for it? Manually deleting files
from outside dt seems a bit cumbersome. Or maybe I don't
understand something?
