that failure very seldom happens with spinning disks |
| 11 |
it very often happens with SDcards |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
chances are *huge* that it's the card itself |

Not really, to my knowledge no-one has figured out a metric that shows |
| 20 |
increased odds of pending failure for SD cards. |

They just stop working one day. A lot like fuses actually - there's no |
| 23 |
way to examine a fuse and predict when it's likely to blow. |

Lesson to be learned: SD cards should only contain stuff you are happy |
| 26 |
to lose, or of which you have several backups |
