Also, good CF using : NAND flash and ECC can support millions of writes, probably better than : the media life of a floppy... We've yet to wear out a CF (CompactFlash) memory card. We've broken two or three DOC2k chips, but I think that was the bad lot of them they got a while back rather than really wearing them out.
