SD Card without MBR or GPT: I need a "RAW" SD card (alien.top)

Is it possible to buy RAW SD cards? I mean without a master boot record or partition table. I have been using WinHex to write zeros to all the memory addresses thereby wiping out the partition tables, but this is time consuming. Can I just buy them "blank"? Does anyone have a source?

Unless you're doing something at huge scale it sounds like far more aggro than finding a better way to format them how you want. You don't need to overwrite the whole card to get rid of the partition tables.
