\_ SMTP quoth Alan Dayley on 2/4/2004 08:22 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ Almost any flash
\_ media you purchase presently will have write cycle counts of at least
\_ 100,000 with several manufacturers now quoting 300,000 or more.

Nothing like being found out wrong for the better.  Still might make
sense to disable atime modification on the flash drive though, no?

\_ That said, it is true that flash media does wear out over time.  It will
\_ just take a much longer time for modern flash than most people think. 
\_ YMMV because some brands out there are junk.

You mean the $10 after rebate 64M flash stick is junk?  NO!  :-)

Do you have a nomination of 'better' brands?
