Size
Size can be difficult to estimate with SD cards; just because two cards are the same size (1GB) does not mean they contain the same number of available blocks. During a mirror rebuild, the size of the secondary card must have an equal or greater number of bytes available than the primary card. The easiest way to validate this is to select the card from within an OS, and request the size of the disk.
great.... now which card do I really need?
