It is not wrong to erase the sectors first. I think we don't need to
erase the SD first. The write command should just work. On the other
hand, the number of blocks to be erased seems too large The RCW is
normally very small (less than 1 block). Would it be more appropriate to
use a smaller number as the "typical" value, such as 1?

If you agree, I will fix them at the time of merging.
