See also http://www.siliconsystems.com/silicondrive/whitepapers/SSWP03-Endurance-R.pdf for a whitepaper that explains their wear leveling and error correction algorithms. Furthermore, Silicon Systems has a technology called SiSMART that allows to monitor by how far the CompactFlash is worn out, such that it can be monitored whether or not it is time to replace the CompactFlash.
