Default CF Cards Skipping Files?

Hi, can anyone tell me if Compact Flash cards San Disk Ultra 11 (genuine) 8 gb are prone to skipping files when downloading as they get older?

I had one skip 10 files in the middle of a download for no apparent reason and another one last week skip 38 files which I found out later on when my client phoned me. I pretty much always format them after deleting the images off them.

I wonder if it might be best to retire the suspect 8 gb card and get a new one? It's only a few years old but would have had thousands of photos pass through it.

Thanks
