Do you have any idea how many write/read actions a flashcard can take a minute before exploding ;)?? --
you are asking two different questions, and you can find answers to both via google. q1. how many read/write actions a flashcard can take? a1. most flashcards have a finite read/write life. It is considerable, but considerably less than a hard disk. All that journaling might wear things down. See the manufacturer's website. q2. ... a minute? a2a. Depends on the model. See the manufacturer's website. a2b. Depends on the port -- USB1 throttles at 12 Mbits/sec, while USB2 goes up to 480 Mbits/sec (about four times the speed of a 100BT network). -- Puneet Kishor http://punkish.eidesis.org/ Nelson Inst. for Env.
