Have they ever solved the problem that after you had written to the same spot on the drive a number of times that spot was now no longer viable?

I have several 1G and 2G SD chips in various devices, and have never seen any decreases in capacity. And I over-write a lot.

Are you sure you're not thinking of re-writable CDs?

No he's not. The earlier FLASH memory chips suffered from a relatively short MTBF of R/W cycles.

Newer chips are addressing that shortcoming. This IS exciting news. I wonder what their DRAM is going to be like. 1TB of RAM on the desktop would be most welcome.
