There's no tamper proof, just tamper resistant...

Throw enough bucks at it and it can be brogen.

You can't avoid the destruction of the card of course. You have to think the other way around. What if the bad guy can't get to the evidence and says it is a fake. Nowadays you can't really rely on digital photos or digital video as evidence anymore because it can be faked so easily. And some bad guy's lawyers can totally argument this way to dismiss evidence. This memory card may be a solution to that problem in criminology. ]]>Jun 23rd 2010 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/It isn't.

All they would have to do is zombify the labs computers and once the card is inserted they would fry/delete or whatever the evidence is...

I don't know. It's just too much of a "perfect" thing to be true...

100 years sounds like a lot.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/Jun 23rd 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/Jun 23rd 2010 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/Jun 23rd 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/sandisks-1gb-worm-sd-card-stores-forensic-images-longer-than-yo/
I suspect it is not using flash RAM technology. Note that a SD-Worm compatible device is required to write to the card, although any SD device can read it. That may be due to a higher required write current, and the memory cells may be more akin to fusible links.

It may have more in common with old PROMs or UV-erasable EPROMs, both of which existed well before flash RAM.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:47PM
