Given that you have many thousands of write cycles usually associated with flash memory lifespan, you will most likely have close to 10 years. Most controllers do the wear leveling automatically and lock out bad cells. If I get 10 years out on my Kindle with a few battery replacements, I will be satisfied. Now that they are close to $100, they are becoming disposable like most small electronics these days.
