[Coco] CF and SD life expectancy

[Frank Swygert]

Okay, I now know that motherboard RAID is no good, and Linux software 
RAID seems to be preferred over a hardware RAID card by most. CDs aren't 
reliable past a few years (I've got one I can't read now, and it's not 
very old... I think it's quality of the media, though it's a good name 
brand, Imation). But I don't recall seeing anything specific about 
keeping data long term on CF or SD cards. Maybe I missed it, I sometimes 
skip over a digest. What was the consensus on that? I keep a small 
database backed up on an SD card (address book) and have for a couple 
years now. Only change the data quarterly at most, usually just 
bi-annually (for a quarterly publication).
