Is it possible to buy RAW SD cards? I mean without a master boot record or partition table. I have been using WinHex to write zeros to all the memory addresses thereby wiping out the partition tables, but this is time consuming. Can I just buy them “blank”? Does anyone have a source?
Curious to ask what you’re using this for.
Regarding buying raw cards, you’d want to buy from an industrial-facing outlet. Going closer to source is your best bet, so, buying from a reseller on Aliexpress or the like. You’ll probably need to buy in volume though. The easier solution is probably just to use Diskpart to clean the disk, which takes seconds.
Tactical dot.
If i know stuff a little, a MBR and a basic partition table is the very minimum requirement to operate a storage device.
