In my 10+ years on this project I've had maybe 3 SD Cards go bad and none from a sudden power loss. I never worry about just pulling the plug.
Modern, surveillance-grade SD Cards for example Western Digital Purple QD101 are inexpensive and ultra reliable.
Hi Tim,
Thank you for the reply.
I was worried because my audio setup will live a rough life regarding power offs and scrolling through countless lines of info, to just get some basic knowledge, i’ve seen a worrying lot of people mention corrupted data and damaged SD cards.
Anyway - I trust you more than random people, using xx SD cards in xx setups running xx software, in dated posts on the web regarding this.
Placing a backup SD card in our sparepart box would be wise either way, i presume.
Kind regards
Rock

Almost anything is possible. It’s the subjective sum of the variables price, time and entertainment that determines whether it’s worth it or not.
