Hard to say.  I don't really use SD chips except in RPi.  The culprits
in front of me are Kingston SD10V/16GBCR .  They loaded up no problem in
the USB/SD adaptor on my desktop, but in the RPi they couldn't get
through boot -- reported a host of I/O errors seemingly forever.  I
suspect it might be something Broadcom could fix, and perhaps will.
