> SanDisk/WD... noticed that they were sensitive to brownouts
Damn, I had a hit on this but this test made it clear.
I have few SBCs with SanDisk TF cards as their data storage. Those were powered with a cheap USB power adapter, and as a result, these SBCs completely locks themselves up after just few days and become inoperable. I even contacted the manufacturer of the SBCs for repair.
But before actually sending the boards out, I brought a new power adapter, replaced the old one with it, and the problem is completely gone. The SBCs are all good, the problem is the power supply.
Though, I still hope that those SBC manufacturers could switch to other storage device. SSDs, even the basic ones are much more reliable that whatever TF card listed on the test.
