Years ago I worked on an avionics project where we were storing data in an NVRAM. We had to write code to manage the wear-out in the cells and if I remember correctly the wear-out was in the hundreds of thousands to millions of writes before problems would occur.
I could not see normal usage causing wear-out unless someone were to have some kind of bug causing a high write rate.
Consumer grade flash often only has 10000 write cycles. Especially if it isn't expected to be updated very much. Different price point. -- Len Sorensen
