I'm told that even cheap wear-levelling and flash chips from 4-5 years ago with even 4 MB flash that it's really non-issue (and done the math for what would be the case if wear levelling worked as claimed, on all blocks, not just currently unwritten; the real question is whether wear-levelling works as claimed, or more to the point whether there is any *hard data* that says wear levelling does *not* work as claimed, or whether persistent anecdotal stories of worn out flash are based on urban legends, or classic mis-attribution).
