EE Times a couple of weeks ago had a bit about the THOR drives.  It seems a
given location can only be written about forty times.  This is much less than
what they were targeting originally.  This is also much less than the hundreds 
of thousands of rewrites needed for a general purpose file system.  Having a
maximum of forty rewrites mandates a WORM-style filesystem.
