What is being used as the entropy source?  The data read or the 
rotational/seek delays?

Probably the underlying chips really present 64MB but the missing
section is for spares, sector tables and on-card firmware.  

Either the lexar or sandisk web mentioned a level of sector remapping
done by the on-card controller.  The purpose was to map out bad
sectors and to move sectors around on a per-write basis so that
hot-spots didn't wear out one sector while most other sectors were
still fairly underutilized.
