Hi :-)

Don't forget one little thing : Flash Memory is mortal!

Most of it will support 10000 to 100000 writing/erase before dieing :-(

@webmasters :-)

isn't it an automatic line wrapping option for forum topics? this one is looking horrible :-)

>Can it be measured in MTBF like OLD hard drives used to be measured??

Yes, as I said, when it reaches it's maximum erase count flash cells will stay in an unknow state, you will have more and more "bad blocks" until you ends with a totally useless hardware thingies :-)
