IMPORTANT
The life expectancy of nonvolatile media is dependent on the number
of write cycles that are performed. Nonvolatile media use a wear
leveling technique or technology for prolonging the service life, but
avoid frequent writes.
Avoid frequent writes when logging data. We recommend that you log
data to a buffer in the memory of your controller and limit the number
of times data is written to removable media.
