Bad, YES. Slow, VERY.
Wears out sectors? Not really.
These flash sticks, along with CF and SD cards, all include
built-in controllers that do automatic wear-leveling.
So rewriting a small group of "logical" sectors over and over
does not, in fact, rewrite the same physical pages in flash.
But SYNC is still horrible for this application!
