Compact Flash Card

I also posted this in the Sound Devices Support Group.

Friday about 10 hours into my day, my 744 started beeping. I didn't
know what the beep was and then on the next take it did it again at
around 1 minute into the take. That time I noticed that the CF started
blinking. I took out the CF card and checked it on my computer. It
wouldn't mount. I blew it out with air and put it back into the 744. It
loaded and then 2 takes later, it beeped and blinked again. This time
though I couldn't get it to load on my computer or the 744. I took it
out and finished the day. I ended up buying a new CF card over the
weekend to use tomorrow on set. I'm just wondering what the average use
time is for a CF card? I bought this last November so it's only 7
months old. I format it everyday so maybe I did get a good llife out of
it but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this kind of lifespan
out of them.
Thanks
