Hi
How reliable and durable are SD Cards and Flash memory. Im thinking of getting an netbook, one of those little EeePC things but the earlier models have limited internal Flash memory.
So, extra storage would be in the shape of Flash drives or SD cards.
How reliable are they for storing stuff? I read somewhere about the 100,000 rewrite limitation, but how true is this.
Ive got a USB thumb drive that I have had for about 6 years and it is still going strong. It has outlasted some of my newer ones. It used to house my website files so was used on a daily basis, written to dozens of times at once.
