Can videogame roms damage my SD card?

[QueenPendragon]

Does anyone know if downloading videogame roms can damage your SD card? I'm not sure that's what did it, but I had to buy a new one a couple days after I got them. They worked fine at first...it was actually while downloading data for Sims Freeplay that my SD card quit on me. I thought I'd ask, anyway.

Thanks

SD Cards can die by themselves. Especially if you got a cheap SD card off of eBay. They have a high tenancy to be counterfeit devices and either fail quickly or do not have the advertised capacity/speed.
