Because there is a finite number of read/write cycles (typically 10,000 - 100,000) in which flash RAM will function, it's possible to exceed the life cycle of a flash RAM device fairly quickly if writes are always done to the same physical blocks of memory. To avoid the problem, manufacturers of flash RAM devices can incorporate "wear leveling" that remaps the blocks so that writes occur evenly throughout the physical locations of the flash device.

Do all modern flash RAM devices use this wear leveling technology?

Interesting idea. I don't know if that's how they do it, but I can see that it would be beneficial.
