So what's inside an SD memory card?

I dissected an old SD memory card to show everybody what's inside.

There's a front housing cover, and a real housing cover. What's inside is simply a thin wafer containing the flash memory. The 3-shot shows all the components after the card has been opened, and the single image shows a slight detail of the memory itself.

These little cards are easy to open with a sharp knife, but it appears that the plastic is welded during the manufacturing process, and it doesn't just snap open. So don't expect to get the little guy back together again.
