I've only used Sandisk memory cards since I started shooting digital and
I've never had any sort of issue with any of their cards - be it SD's or
Compact flash.

Subject: OT: Sandisk Extreme failure and it gets HOT
I took my card out last night to load some images, and left it on the desk
overnight.
This morning I found the card on the (carpeted) office floor. I picked it
up, popped it back into the K5 and turned the camera on so I could format
it.
Turning the power on, there is about a 3-second pause (no lower-right
access light as is normal upon power-up) and then a "card error" message.
I turned the camera off, and upon removing the card, I noticed that it was
VERY WARM. Repeating the cycle yields the same results.
There are no external signs of damage - but I guess it's remotely possible
that my office chair rode over it on the carpeted floor.
Has anyone else ever seen a failure like this? How is Sandisk to deal
with in terms of checking out warranty coverage? I may or may not have
the packaging and receipt from 2+ years ago when I bought it...
