what is the lifespan of USB flashdrives used for readyboost?

[helloall]

Does anyone using USB flashdrives for Readyboost

Please comment on the lifespan of their flashdrives when used for such purposes? Since rams incur a heavy amount of read/write cycles.

I have been using my Kingston 4GB DataTraveler Mini Slim USB Flash Drive for just under 2 years daily on a netbook and it's as good as new, no signs of wear or any performance issues.

I would not worry about the lifespan. It will probably last forever - especially as Ready Boost where it does not get a lot of use.
