Everything I know about flash memory comes from this LWN article:
http://lwn.net/Articles/428584/

Among other things, the article warns that the wear leveling algorithm
is likely to be closely tied to the original device format.  I don't
think this contradicts anything Joshua wrote.  If you want more detail,
follow the link.
