From memory (I found some articles describing what was happening when |
| 13 |
investigating a while back) - its common with other brands too so might |
| 14 |
be part of the specification - if it detects a failure, it forces |
| 15 |
permanent read only mode to enable data recovery. Some cards may be put |
| 16 |
back into write mode by software but not all and I wouldn't trust it |
| 17 |
anyway. I have Kingston, Samsung and Sandisk cards - I regard Samsung |
| 18 |
as very slightly better but not enough to go out of my way and pay more |
| 19 |
for them. |
