Hi .tsooJ,
> Flash RAM only wears out with write actions, not on reads.
"Wears out", well, sort of. One of their specifications is number of
program/erase cycles. But, more importantly, the data degrades over time
(another part of the specification called data retention)...whether the
FLASH is read or not.
This has some good info:
