Now here's a question, spinning hard drives can become "etched" also, when data is stored, the spinning disk sometimes needs to be defraged-----however, i was under the impression that flash has no such drawbacks because there is nothing physically moving. so how could pushing and pulling data from one section wear it out??
I just remember reading in one of the threads here about constantly reformatting the sd card because there is only so many read/write cycles that a sd card can handle and that constant reading/writing to the card can cause it to prematurely die, but I'm not an expert by any means on this. Maybe arrrghhh or one of the dev's could give more info on this. I believe it was Nate who was talking about it, but don't quote me on that.
