That is, how many write cycles? I have heard about this many times but never a hard number. If it is in the thousands I don't really care much. The card will become obsolete (in terms of capacity) long before that. My oldest SD card is 128 MB and I rarely use it anymore but it still works like new. I progressively doubled up capacity with newer cards and my newest card is 2GB. The 1 GB card I use the most is just one year old and before long the 2 GB card will probably take its place.
