	I think the key in there is that he had them mounted read only.
I had a Sandisk Ultra II that lasted 5 months in a full R/W FreeBSD system
before it just gave up. I put an Extreme into the newer machine, and I think
it might have given up the ghost in 3 months. (I can't tell. The system went
offline yesterday at 2am and its a 11 hour drive (Including rental of a 
4WD jeep to get to the site) ) that I'm not up for right now...)
