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. -DP -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
