Does anyone have any definitive information about the lifetime of the Wii's NAND memory, and how it might be affected by such things as the way the Wii Menu 4.0 copies SD card channels to NAND before running them? [[User:Unbibium|Unbibium]] 16:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

: Yes.  Each block is rated for 100,000 erase-write cycles, per the datasheet.  Combined with the minor amount of wear-levelling done by IOS, this is enough to last a lifetime. --[[User:Bushing|Bushing]] 21:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
