It definitely does, but you don't always need to do statistics here,
simply identifying the flash chip and the controller chip is
most of what you need. 3-bit MLC flash should be avoided if you
want a long life expectancy, and the controller must be able to
deal with non-FAT32 file systems. If one of the two is bad, you
should not trust your data to the card.
