I had never used SD cards as much as I have used them since working with RPis, at the same time I have never felt less sure about their reliability. I don't think I feel comfortable using them as a secondary storage in my laptop. Does anyone else share this reliability concern?

As a cheap primary boot device on a low end computer which experiences frequent power loss, has a horrible power supply, and is commonly overclocked too much no, I'm not really comfortable it'll be reliable. As a high cost secondary storage device on a laptop or in a camera yes, it's pretty darn reliable.
