So the question has been bothering me for quite some time, how many times can I really write to one of these USB memory stick things before it finally dies. With as popular as the USB drive based distributions are becoming, I was wondering, how practical are these distributions. The stick used in this experiment is a 1G Sony Microvault USB Flash Drive.

I'm going to see how many times I have to write to this before it dies. (more after the fold, this is a very long post)
