I was under the impression that all devices using flash memory had some 
kind of wear-levelling logic built into their controllers. But now I hear 
that the level of sophistication of this varies. Namely, while SSDs, meant 
for running OS installations and active user filesystems, put the most 
effort into prolonging their lives, SD cards and USB sticks do not.

So it makes sense to use some more flash-aware filesystem on the latter 
devices, to help reduce the wear on them as well. Looking at the Wikipedia 
list <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system>, it seems like F2FS 
is the best bet.

Anybody tried this sort of thing?
