fish is right, all current flash memory, there's a limited # of read/write they can perform before they simply wear out. think of it as number of time you can turn on a lightbulb before it burn out, even though no moving part, they can still eventually wear out, depending on the flash memory, I think the design life is typically over 10k write cycle though.
