Re: F2FS On USB Sticks?

I was under the impression that all devices using flash memory had some

effort into prolonging their lives, SD cards and USB sticks do not.
 So it makes sense to use some more flash-aware filesystem on the latter
devices, to help reduce the wear on them as well. Looking at the Wikipedia
list <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_file_system>, it seems like F2FS
is the best bet.
 Anybody tried this sort of thing?
