As Director of the Lepp Institute of Digital Imaging, I instruct over 350 clients a year in weekend and week-long digital photography workshops.  All too often, a client has a CF card malfunction and asks the unfortunate "Can you recover my images?"  My standard response is "I'll try and you need to upgrade to a Hoodman RAW card."  I do not even need to see their equipment before I give this advice.  Because in over 18 months with over 500 clients capturing hundreds of thousands of images I have never experienced any issue with Hoodman RAW cards (the same cannot be said for many other brands.)  Whether in the field, the studio, or the digital darkroom, Hoodman RAW cards perform impeccably.
