About 2 weeks back there was a bit of a discussion on this....
* To the best of my knowledge, CF does not perform any explicite wear
levelling. Rather, the method used to cycle through the blocks will tend to
result in some wear levelling.
I agree with Vipin re CF's reliability. It is a Kleenex technology. It is not
very robust and is prone to curruption on many fronts.
