Just adding my nickels worth.....if your planning on putting the SD card aw=
ay in a drawer, holding archived information, then you better get it out at=
 least once a month, and plug it into something that will read it, and let =
the controller refresh the charge.  Otherwise you will end up with corrupte=
d data or worse, nothing at all.  Flash may be non-volatile but doesn't ret=
ain the charge forever.  Obviously the same goes for USB thumb drives and s=
uch.
