I'm surprised.  I would have expected uSD cards, just like SSDs to rely
mostly on a (small) amount of extra storage, i.e. the actual amount of
NAND storage is higher than that reported as being available.

This way the uSD card knows for sure which blocks are in use and which
ones aren't (without having to rely on things like TRIM).
