SiliconSystems patented wear-leveling algorithm writes data
evenly over the entire SiliconDrive, resulting in the longest
possible drive life. SiliconDrive is specifically engineered
for embedded systems that store user files as well as hold
operating systems, look-up tables and other critical static
data.
In contrast, traditional flash card wear-leveling algorithms
do not write evenly over the entire card. The expected life
of traditional flash cards is directly related to the amount
of static data present - the more static data, the shorter
the card life.
