One must consult the documentation of that device. This wear leveling
is low level and most devices do not export any information about it.
Recent SSDs start to export some values through SMART that let you
monitor the state.
Some companies think that hiding is better than exposing...

The question is, how can you find out whether it does automatic
wear-leveling? (Perhaps when a CF is advertised as "holds 10 years!"?)
