Well, I am not much into arguing for the sake of arguing. Sure there are many warnings for everything, including glowballworming. I have had a harddisk fail simply because I dropped those, the FLASH based memory cards dropped many times did survive. I have seen optical media fail on write (I always run a compare against the source), likely dust particles, and older ones that had mold spots in those that I returned. I have seen writes to SDcard with 'dd' fail on verification in read-back, but to many other 'on the border' things happening to blame the card (card images are a different matter). I have never seen a data record fail to SDcard in my designs.
That all means very little, but the mechanical strength, weight, speed (no seek times), low power use, makes these cards a first choice between those media.
You stated that sequentially writing to FLASH was dangerous, I hope I made it clear to you and everybody else that is bull. Every OS also does that.
It's simple.
