That test is probably insufficient. Somebody actually did this test on
lkml some time ago, and found that the better devices were rated to
100,000 writes to the same cell and the el-cheapo jobs were somewhere
around 10,000.
IOW, the manufacturer of a cheapie says it should cope with 10,000
writes *at least*, so in practice you could expect more.
I'd start to believe a test that does >1,000,000 writes to the same cell
before drawing any conclusions.
