With that, you raise the question of how often you write vs read.
Well, it is a pattern observed in all information processing that reads outnumber writes at all levels (CPU registers, level-1 and level-2 cache, RAM and secondary storage), but that does not change the fact that flash-based secondary storage cannot sustain as many write cycles as rotating magnetic media. To date, fancy redundancy schemes are required to balance the read / write cycle limits in flash-RAM devices when used as secondary storage devices.
