Sheesh. You're worried about "several hundred thousand" write cycles?
I don't write to flash drives all that often - read cycles are much
more prevalent. I think more to the point is that I've outgrown my
smaller flash drives and had to move to newer and bigger ones.

There's a wonderful tradition that started many years ago when monks
began transcribing manuscripts. I believe they called it backups. I
don't have *anything* on a flash drive that I don't have backed up
somewhere safe. Usually multiple copies. But then that's just me being
paranoid that my media might self-destruct some day.
