Flash Memory on HP Touchpad - how long will it last?

how many write/erase will it allow?

I'm curious because HP touchpad does not have external mem card slot so we just write/erase on this flash memory which has limited number of writes/erases before it fails.

You'll be dead before it fails.

Not sure... I know that in general, current flash memory tech does ~ 100k writes... From what I understand, many controllers are designed to balance those writes across a device... (hopefully someone more knowledgeable can shed additional light on it...)
So many that its not worth worrying about lol

Exactly.
I remember when I got my first SSD I was worried about caching the browser to a uSD card, etc. But after a while, I realized that the flash memory will last at LEAST 10 years, and there's no way I'll still have the device in ten years.
