1k writes sounds good enough for consumer hardware I suppose. As long as there's some some type of S.M.A.R.T. system to warn the user before it wears out.

- gruez 4y agousually it goes into read-only mode when it wears out, so there's no data loss.
- cowtools 4y agothat's fantastic actually! One problem might be that programs don't anticipate this behavior, like if it wears out while a filesystem is still syncing
