>3. Stated MTBF of 100,000 hours is pure fiction.  24x7 is 8,760 hrs/yr.

   Perhaps this is a naive question, but it seems to me that the same work 
needed to keep a system from overwriting flash too often also works to keep 
IDE drives spun down.  Then 24x7 translates to *much* less than 8,760 hrs 
of spinning a year, and it's reliability increases accordingly, no?
