>3. Stated MTBF of 100,000 hours is pure fiction. 24x7 is 8,760 hrs/yr.
Perhaps this is a naive question, but it seems to me that the same work
needed to keep a system from overwriting flash too often also works to keep
IDE drives spun down. Then 24x7 translates to *much* less than 8,760 hrs
of spinning a year, and it's reliability increases accordingly, no?
