I can't help you out on much of the quest, but this part is generally
advertised when full specs are given for the card.  Often I see cards
looking in the neighbourhood of 100,000 lifetime read/writes expected.
 While this isn't much for a long-term solution, I'd expect you're
talking about using this solution for a non-permanent install.
