When designing an application, the goals of quality and reliability are always a priority. If an application stops working prematurely – the associated brand will build a poor reputation quickly as well as incur additional costs for replacement products. A frequent culprit of short lived products are the SD cards designed into them. The lifetime of SD Cards can vary dramatically depending on differences in memory type, controller features and the host access pattern.
