Its also worth knowing that some manufactures offer utilities to low level format cards and other utilities to error check them, i.e perform multiple read writes to check error status, speed and so on. Some formats only remove the basic file table information (hence why recovery is possible) so keep in mind performance can also be effected by not knowing manufactures guidelines for certain cards, take for example new Cfast used in Canons 1DX2, they need occasional formatting with Sandisks optimizer/application to retain maximum performance from the card. In my experience most corruption takes place when data is transferred from the card to the computer, you can also suffer physical card failure such as broken pins or cracked PCB is smaller more fragile cards such as MicroSD/SD and so on, with high speed USB transfer directly from the camera is now fast enough you could remove the risk of taking cards in and out of the camera body.
