if there is an alternate way to do so then yes. as i said before, adding
a optin/out option should be possible. i always went by the rule that
writing a sector more than 1000 times should be avoided. i thin that is
called convergence and had to do with environmental temperatures. would
need to look it up and find a link. so even 2 boots/day would mean the
unit is dead after 2 years. please keep in mind that latest chips might
handle lots of writes but not everyone has a spanking new unit. lots of
people use 5-10 year old routers.

to be honest, this discussion span off topic a bit and i only marginally
followed it.
