These disks differ from standard compact flash memory which have a limitation on number of read/writes. There are also systes which are based on standard memory (like DDR, DDR2, SDRAM) and require constant power supply. In case there is a powercut such systems won't be able to hold data for long as their internal batteries can provide power only for a limited period.

How does it compare to a regular drive? Is there a limit to the number of read/writes before the flash drive stops functioning ???

Is there a limit to the number of read/writes before the flash drive stops functioning ???

These can be easily googled. The advantage of flash memeory disks and cards lies in the performance. These cards and disks easily outperform the fastest conventional disks on the market by the factor of 20 or more. Average disk access time and seek time are extremely small. The drawback is that this type of storage is extremely expensive. So it is great to use this type of storage for any type of server applications, video encoding and any applications that operate large number of small files. This performance comes at a price of a decent car for every disk in the system. Well, there is a number of companies offering hard disks based on flash memory. These can be easily googled.
