We have some SanDisk CF's here which have withstood at least 20 cycles
of fdisk, mke3fs, and installation of a mini-linux distribution. They
are all still running ok. (64 MB mostly, some 128 MB)
They have been accessed through SanDisk USB-to-CF adapters, and also
directly to the IDE channel of Geode-based embedded systems.
