Based on a 4MB zone and a 3 % reserve block there would be 120k bytes of 
reserve bytes per 4MB zone.  According to the doc the pool is a random 
assortment per zone.  It all comes down to how fast 120k bytes wear out.  
Modern hard drives have a reserve pool and replace sectors or tracks that are 
predicted to fail or have failed automatically.  The SanDisk method seems to be 
a good compromise to extend life for a simple system like the flash cell.  I 
suspect that the implementation is fairly simple.  A search of the patent 
office might reveal the raw details.

    If this is true for a current card the OS would have a direct influence on 
life 

  Right !

  FAT is abysmal.
