I have not studied electronics formally. However, I do wonder about
the discrepancy that exists between what Suzan has written and what
manufacturers are stating. As mentioned in the article I linked
earlier, manufacturers state that the write/erase cycles of flash
cards are, indeed, definite. That is, they will eventually burn out,
wear out, give up, etc (pick your favorite way of saying "they will
stop working.")



this is from another forum.

question: do flash cards wear out from use?

just curious.
