I am using sbRIO-9601, having 128 Mb non-volatile storage. In my application, I need to write binary files and save it into sbRIO memory. As we all know flash memory has limited number of write operation. My question is that, how many times I can write/re-write a particular memory sector of sbRIO? I am not concern about storage size, because logically I am flushing old data. I am only concern about about, how many number of times I can write a particular memory sector.

Maximum Write operation on sbRIO-9601 (128 Mb non-volatile storage)

Hi Deepak,

Sorry for the delay. I was under the impression from our R&D team that they addressed your concerns with you directly through the NI team in India because of all the variables in how lifespan may be estimated. Please let me know if you haven't been in contact with the NI India team of if you still have questions about the Disk on Chip.

Because the calculations are not trivial and difficult to estimate at best. if we need to get better estimates than what is provided in the Understanding and Extending the Life of my Solid-State-Drive article, then I think we would need to address this issue with a conference call. If we need to go that route, please contact the NI India team to set up the time and logisitics.
