Back in 2005-2006, I made a few firewalls using 1GB SD cards. They all
lasted 4 years running smoothwall with continuous logging.
If you want to make it last longer, put /var/log and /tmp in RAM using
tmpfs, then periodically (once/day), make backups of the tmpfs and store
it on the SD card. I then altered init to create the tmpfs, copy the
files from SD card to tmpfs. It worked fine until init was updated by
yum. Oops :)

Still true last time I checked but they use a lot of techniques to
mitigate the problem. They write to different locations and I'm told
some have far more memory space internally than is available to
decrease the amount of writes to any given address. My first USB
drives lasted maybe a year at most but I have a few now that are 7
years or older.

I remember that USB drives used to be good for a limited amount of
writes. Is that still true?
