Kris, I am somewhat confused now. What you say makes perfect sense
except one detail. I thought that CF cards were those that had
controller on board. The SD cards as I understand don't have controller
on board. Therefore it makes certain sense (may be not too much sense,
but still) to write

SD cards have controllers inside as well. This is hard data from an

Controllers in modern cards are designed so as to balance writes
across the card. That coupled with good error detection and
correction routines should make the card last forever under normal
load. That is assuming normal error rate. Could happen that the
