NAND Flash is especially bad about this.  Not only can the data being
currently erased or programmed be corrupted but other data can be
also.  That is why NAND Flash drives are so prone to complete failure
even if a log type of internal file system is used; it is one thing to
protect against corruption of the last written data but another when
any data can be destroyed.
