Since the writing process involved switching a silicon gate to represent the bit of code, it would start to fail after a few dozen thousand writes. Realistically, it would probably start to fail after 4,000 writes to the same part. If you actually use something like this, you should be mindful of what you put on it, and do not defrag it unless absolutely necessary. You are correct.

Don't flash drives start to fail after a number of accesses? Some time far sooner than a hard disc at any point? (Or is it just SD cards which do this?) This is exactly what I thought, but…
