Back in 2005-2006, I made a few
firewalls using 1GB SD cards. They all lasted 4 years running
smoothwall with continuous logging.
If you want to make it last longer, put /var/log and /tmp in RAM
using tmpfs, then periodically (once/day), make backups of the
tmpfs and store it on the SD card. I then altered init to create
the tmpfs, copy the files from SD card to tmpfs. It worked fine
until init was updated by yum. Oops :)

Still true last time I checked but they use a lot
of techniques to mitigate the problem. They write to different
locations and I'm told some have far more memory space
internally than is available to decrease the amount of writes to
any given address. My first USB drives lasted maybe a year at
most but I have a few now that are 7 years or older.
