Just bought a 1 gig USB pen drive off newegg...
I want to make sure that I don't do anything to significantly decrease the life of the pen drive. I hear that flash memory has a limit to the number of writes before it gets 'worn out'.
My question is:
Does this apply to reads as well? Should I be using the flash drive to play my music directly off of, or should I copy it to the hard drive first? (note - this is a fast flash drive that doesnt have problems playing music)
