"Each block can be independently erased 100,000 times"

is this like the "food expiry date" ore "best before date" ? (sorry i dont know the right englisch word , but i think you undertstand it :) )

yes. _statistically_ it should work at least the advertised number of times.
after that, it may work, but they won't guarantee it. there is also a
nonzero chance that they'll stop working or degrade before that time, much like that jar of mayonnaise i had in the refrigerator that my wife forbade me to eat anymore after she decided it was expired.

cheers,
cam
