This thread has been interesting tho. At least I know that a Sandisk
card at least tries to fail in a way that I can get the data off that
did get written to the card. Hey, that's a lot better than some I
guess. :-D I've had some other brands that when they die, they dead.
You get nothing at all.

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