  • Every flashdrive has a limit of number of times you can Copy&Delete data before the solid state circuitry burns out.

these numbers are not really accurate any longer. these devices now use wear leveling algorithms that spread the wear across the entire drive. program erase cycle count is no longer used. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is the rating used now. cruzer drives are rated at 1 million hours MTBF.
