Hello Derek,

Also when just reading the flash drive? I would like to write to it
only when it is absolutely necessary (configuration change). I think
2 million configuration changes should be enough? If it lasts only year,
no problem I can exchange it every now and then. I just hope it is more
damage-proof than ordinary hard drives (for example at power outages).

Bye,
Nejc
