Flash drives have a large but limited number of erases. They make great
solid state drives but not for swap devices. For a classic system needing a
small number of mb of swap space RAM is the best answer.

They'll still eventually were out, of course,
but
it will take quite a while.

If I were buying a card for a high-wear application, I'd want to buy a
well-known reputable brand such as Sandisk or Lexar, rather than the
cheapest off-brand card at Frys.
Uh... no. Set up a swap partition on a lexar flash drive. You won't get
more than a month of use at best. I've done it. Twice.
