For hard core technochrats, here is an inside design view of flash memory cards
etc.
Different technologies and reliabilities for different markets.
How they achieve reliability using error correcting ("Reed-Solomon codes")
and block replacement, load leveling etc. There is a lot more to this than you
think. Unfortunately it does not help you much in choosing a CF card say, as
you would need to pry this from the vendors spec sheets and they likely don't
publicise it to consumers!
