   Exactly. SSDs algorithm and processing power (I read of an   
   SSD yesterday with a five core ARM processor in it), ensures   
   that the entire wear life of the device (number of cells times cycles)   
   is harvested. USB sticks don't even come remotely close to that. Some   
   USB sticks, don't even seem to follow what technical information   
   is available for them. Either their flash chips are entire crap   
   (should have been thrown out at flash factory), or, something   
   is very wrong with the controller.
