I'm a bit interested.  I haven't been able to make any of mine fail,
and I've a collection of about twelve so far, accumulated over ten

I've always found my problems to be either:

- invalid partitioning,

- unrepeatable corruption of the partition table or filesystem, or;

- physical wear on the connectors,

- plastic dimensions that prevent full insertion.
