How many times can I write on a USB Stick?

Submitted by eke on December 30, 2008 - 11:56am

Hi,

I read that it is possible to install Win XP on a USB Stick but the stick will be destroyed after a several boots because it only allows 100000 or 1000000 writing / reading sessions (?)
So here is my question: Does it make sense to install portable apps and use it as an portable office without destroying the stick and consequently loosing the files on it ?

ty and take care

[Fixed] Error in size bar

Submitted by Jacob Mastel on December 26, 2008 - 5:15pm

I recently bought a new flash drive. It's a SanDisk Cruzer 8gig. It works great I've always liked SanDisk but I have noticed one problem with it. For some odd reason the size bar at the bottom of the PAM says bleh out of 7gigs. I'm kinda wondering why my flash drive is showing up as 7gigs rather than 8. Probably just a minor bug to be fixed in next release probably.
