   An EEPROM is can be written/erased one byte at a time.   
      
   An SD card uses flash memory that can only be written in blocks, and can   
   only be erased in pages (which are typically larger than write-blocks).   
      
   Flash is typically many times cheaper than EEPROM, byte for byte, and   
   its block-structured nature is well suited for mass storage applications   
   whose filesystems are block-oriented anyway.
