totally build one chart flash drives longevity

I would totally build one so I can chart my flash drives' longevity.

Not for me. I'll just burn my old drives, thanks.

EEPROMs, such as flash memory, store data in electronic devices like cell phones, smart cards, SD cards, and solid-state drives. This type of memory can only endure a limited number of writes, it will eventually wear out and it won’t store new data. The Flash Destroyer explores that limit by writing and verifying a common EEPROM chip, rated for 1 million writes, until it burns out. Would you like to build one?
