i am working with PCAN-GPRS
i am using fatFs to store and manage files on the SDcard.
is there a problem because SDcard are flash memories? ( due to the limited number of write on the same place)
or is it managed by fatFs or by the SD card or perhaps this problem no longer exists?
Regards

Hello,

this is only a problem for RAW flash devices (like NAND or NOR flash chips). Memory cards like SD-Cards have flash controllers that manages the usage of the physical momory blocks ("Wear Levelling").
