what you dont know about USB flash memory

[Orignall Posted April 11 2006]

These days every one seems to be complaining how their perfectly working USB flash memories stopped worrking all of a suddent. Ok what did you expect, they are not goin to last you a lifetime anyway. But on average, a flash memory has a life of one million write cycles. That is if you are using your USB flash memory 3 times a day, it will last you approximately a year. Cost and quality sure matter. Dont expect cheap flash to last long.
