I'd be interested in references for that
"draws a few
electrons" is simplified. Its about what a colleague at
work explained to me. He cares about the SD cards we build into our
products. We where bitten by this problem when we evaluated a new
type of high capacity MicroSD card. He can't be more speciffic due to
NDAs, probably the same you signed too...
Still: (Most) SD cards are _not_ a reliable, long term storage medium.
IIRC that colleague talked about special "industrial grade" SD cards.
They are guaranteed to be robust and reliable as old fashined NOR
Flash. But they are expensive and have less capacity.
