Also, I discovered recently that there is a maximum number of hours

with minimal writes but lots of hours.
There are long discussions elsewhere of the dangers of using non-industrial
rated CFs and SDs in storage applications.
I found it next to impossible to find information on what - if any -
technology a particular SSD uses to extend lifespan; while manufacturers
all compete on things like capacity and speed, very few of them seem
interested in telling us how long their product might last.
