Normal commercial flash will eventually fail. It's not designed for
this purpose.

We use only industrial products which include error correction blocks
and mechanism (transparent to the system), like:

mainly IFM 4000+ / IFM 4400+ series:

We get tens of million cycles with not a single fail, in industrial
environment (high temp. + vibration).
