Hi everyone,

I am looking to use XPe and 8gig IDE Flash on a mini_ITX board running a
custom app. The app will write a daily log, but will not use the Flash much
beyond this. So, the main user of the Flash will be the OS.

Does anyone know how long we could expect the Flash to last in a 24/7
enviroment?

Any links to information would be appreciated...

It'd probably depend on the quality of the media and on what exactly
the image is doing. Personally I'd reccommend - if your flash can do
it - partitioning it and using EWF on the OS partition so nothing is
permanently written without a commit and writing the log to an
unprotected partition. The other option - depending on how much it
matters if data is lost - would be periodic scripted commits which
would minimise the writes and extend the life a lot.
