Like all flash memory devices, flash drives can sustain only a limited
number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash drives
under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand cycles,
although write operations will gradually slow as the device ages. This
should be a consideration when using a flash drive to run application
software or an operating system. To address this, as well as space
limitations, some developers have produced special versions of operating
systems (such as Linux) or commonplace applications (such as Mozilla Firefox)
designed to run from flash drives. These are typically optimized for size and
configured to place temporary or intermediate files in the computer's main
RAM memory rather than store them temporarily on the flash drive.

Flash only has a certain # of writes before it becomes unusable.
