    Are SD cards not still the standard storage for digital cameras? I can think of few things designed to produce more small writes than a digital camera.

      A digital camera has several megabyte writes, every once in a while, filling up the SD card evenly. Even bad SD cards usually have many thousand write cycles before they degrade, so that’s not likely to be an issue. What is worse is if you have a log file, for example, that is stored in a fixed position on the card and gets updated several times a second
