Well..... I did a search of MTBF for Compact flash cards and I found everything from 500,000 hours to 4 million hours of operation. Since 500,000 hours is 57 years, then 4,000,000 hours is about 450 years.
I'm ok with a 57 year life span. I recently bought and installed a bunch of 30 year shingles and wondered if I was wasting my money.. :-) Dave kurniadi wrote: > On Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 10:34 PM, David Winter > <davidwin...@hondaracing.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: > >> Dear All, >> Anyone used a CF card as a hard drive?
