ReMarkable MicroSD (2019)

On SD Cards at least, I've seen the software bugs in the FTL lose track of sectors more often when I've had the tooling to tell the difference. There's some terrible code in those things.

I had heard that SD cards were bad but I was under the impression eMMC was in a completely different class.
