I read on one of digital camera forums that there are limits on how
many write operations you can perform on these cards before the cells
go bad ? I know at least CF does, not sure if SD/MMC has similar
limit.
Typically with Digital Camera/PDA/Music player, number of write
operations will be far less than read operations, hence the write
limit may not be a problem there, but if you are using it as portable
disk, then this would matter.
