What's the difference between an SSD and a flash usb stick?  I have tried 
repeatedly to use flash usb sticks as linux drives, using ext2 as the FS 
and mounted with the noatime option to avoid too many accesses.  After 
only a few mounts, these FS always end up corrupted.

The problem with flash is that "checking" them for integrity only 
decreases their lifetime.

I don't use flash anymore, for anything.
