It continues to amaze me how indestructible SDCards are.

Until they're sold as supplemental hard drives (cough Transcend Jetdrive cough). Then they'll fail if you even look at them strangely.



Put one in a Raspberry pi and it will be dead in a month.


A month? Those are rookie numbers!

Write an image to a smallish SD card using dd (to remove most of the blocks from wear-levelling circulation), mount without -noatime, and you should be able to get the lifespan down to a few hours!


remember the noatime mount option for the root fs!
