Well I didn't find any thing really helpfull on sandisks web site but they claim that
its
good for <1 bit of error for 10^14 bits. However this is probally for just successive
read
cycles and and not read/write. One of the early cards was listed as 300,000
erase/write
cycles.
If the CF does some sort of write leveling in its firmware then I don't think it
really
matters. Just depends on how much overhead you can stand and the type of data you are
going
to be writeing. ie small files or big files?
What type of data does you app need and how often will it write to the disk?
Does anyone know if the sandisk CF does internal write leveling? We have been using
them in
several systems for almost 2 years now and I can't recall one ever failing in the
field. We
use DOS and FAT for those systems though and they don't write much to the CF.
