Hi,


I would say or think that the multiple re-writes on a limited life memory
card = recipe for expense, disaster and short life.

I think the whole reason people have always used otherwise rather
inconvenient, difficult or risky (subject to shock failures, etc.) hard
drives was for the very reason of multiple re-writing (particularly with
automatic rewind and live pause functionality, etc.).

I.e. use flash cards = flash card ready for the bin within a few weeks (at
very high use); use hard drives = should be good for years of reading and
writing and long-term storage at failure high tolerance temperatures, etc.
(at the cost of being much more prone to physical shock damage, etc.).


Best wishes,
