  Volhout said  For modern NAND flah (and eMMC/SD cards) there are 2 things that ar bad

1/ frequent writing to it (wear out)
2/ long time power off

This type flash looses content pretty fast, and as long as the data is refreshed/re-written that is not a problem. But leaving a modern SD card without power for years, will make the card useless.

Useless (i.e. no longer works) or just content gone?
