   I’m sure all flash-based media has to have some degree of wear-levelling.   
   Though some may have more of it than others.   
      
   Linux has filesystems that are designed to operate natively on media that   
   needs wear-levelling (e.g. jffs2, nilfs2), that include provision for that   
   automatically in their normal operation.
