I'm using a samsung evo and having corruption issues, like this https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/397

Is sandisk avoiding this issue? It is unusable with this problem, I need a new card. something like this? http://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-Adapter-SDS...k+micro+sd

I'm not aware of any issues with Sandisk cards.
The Samsung EVO and Transcend cards seem to be the problematic ones (although Samsung EVO does seem to work fine for some).

Every few days openelec fails saying the storage is corrupt

Jeb, I'm replying to your 1st post, tho I've looked at the replies. You have a far more frequent card corruption level than anybody I've heard of. If I understand it correctly...

By using the TV to both power the Pi and receive the Pi's signal, you have created a loop for both current and signal problems.

If it was my setup, I would buy & try a nice $7-9 power brick and see if that doesn't solve your issue.

It's cheaper than another SD card!

I can't change the setup the way I setup the network, if the Pi had a power on/off switch this would have helped but since it doesn't I have to rely on powering it off from the TV. I have scripts that automatically wake up my server if the Pi's come online, and the server stays online until the Pi's are shutdown. I still don't believe it's a power issue, the pi in the bedrooms lasted far longer but eventually gave out as well. I have since went back to using the cheap slow 2GB card in the bedroom that has worked fine since I got the Pi2 and continues to do so. The other one still running solid once I went back to storage on USB and it hasn't corrupted either so it most defiantly with this recent SD corruption bug. The Pi1 has worked for well over a year in the bedroom powered over TV USB, I know different device, different outcome but it's the SD cards why else would the cheap 2GB continue to work when all the new 16GB cards started to fail after a few days.

More advanced sdcards implement background wear levelling and aggressive write caching to improve performance.
These produce a longer window where sdcard activity may be occurring (even when Pi appears idle).

If you cut power while an sdcard is moving sectors around (for wear levelling purposes) then corruption is likely.
The cheap 2G card probably doesn't implement these features and so is less prone to corruption.

I was just wondering.... what would be faster, a good sd card like the Samsung Pro or a ssd on a usb port? (Openelec)

I'd expect a usb ssd to be a bit faster. Not sure it's enough to be worth the increased cost (but if you have one lying around...)
Not tried with kodi but did instal raspbian onto ssd and it ran pretty smoothly.

to

SSD might be worth it, since I have one doing nothing. But the one you linked to Warez is an mSata and I haven't seen a cheap msata to usb adapter

Does the Raspberry Pi2 support: SDR104?

Edit found it...
