The last time I paid attention there was a lot of voodoo involved in formatting and partitioning SD cards without adversely impacting the performance and life expectancy of the card. It dealt with block sizes and alignment of sectors, etc. Aligning the file system with the underlying SD card hardware, so that for a filesystem write doesn't require reading a physical hardware block updating the last half of it, reading the next hardware block and updating the first half of it.<div>
