You put your data once on a USB-Stick. Then you read it many times.

I would suggest you do a little research on contemporary SSD's - over USB the eMMC in the N900 would require writing data to it for roughly 10 solid years non stop before you see any kind of wear issue. You're far more likely to have your N900 die of other causes long before then.
