For example,
if my "8G" microdrive were 8G of CF instead, [...]
takes over 9.7 years to transfer 2PB
My understanding is the cycle count relates
to writing to a given
block. For use as a swap device or other heavy rewrite-in-place
device, the 250K writes could be used up in a matter of weeks. Does CF as working storage even approach the
reliability of a floppy?
If the floppy was made recently, /dev/null approaches the reliability
of a floppy. :(
