Quoted from PinballRulez:
I do not think that the use of flash storage (Flash drives, SSD, SD Card) is a problem and should have a life span of 5 - 10 years depending on the write cycles.

Since you guys seem to know, could you tell me what exactly will happen in 5-10 years and what the fix will be?
What if ...and please apologize for me even thinking of it.... there is no more Heighway Pinball in 5-10 years and the card fails, will my FT be a large brick at that point?

Thank you for explaining it, I am truly curious
