cRIO Flash Drive Wear - 24/7 TDMS Streaming

[ba_0101]

Do I need to worry about wearing out the cRIO's flash drive when continuously writing 16 channels of 2000 S/s data using the TDMS Write VI? Should I be enabling the TDMS buffer? I want to make sure I do not have issues when writing data 24/7 over a long period of time. Is data automatically buffered so small writes are not immediately written to the flash drive?

It should be O.K. to write data 24/7 using TDMS. If you want do "checkpoints" and make sure the data is logged to disk you should use "TDMS Flush" periodically. The "enabling TDMS buffer" only take effects for windows desktop platform.
