</div>No, NAND is flash memory, it has a definite limit on the number of times<br>
it can be written to (in each sector, that is). It doesn't matter how<br>
old flash memory is, if you reach its write limit, it's useless.<br>
<br>
All flash memory is like this, including most SSDs. The only variation<br>
is what the limit is and what the firmware does to compensate. So one<br>
might take more writes than another, but regardless, every write<br>
*necessarily* brings it closer to the end of its life.<br></blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="auto">.</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"></blockquote></div></div></div><div dir="auto">That's debatable:</div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.google.nl/amp/embedded#amp=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.zdnet.com%252Fgoogle-amp%252Farticle%252Fssd-reliability-in-the-real-world-googles-experience%252F&ampidx=0">https://www.google.nl/amp/embedded#amp=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.zdnet.com%252Fgoogle-amp%252Farticle%252Fssd-reliability-in-the-real-world-googles-experience%252F&ampidx=0</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
