Keep in mind that the flash and EEPROM have limited lifetimes (about 10,000 and 100,000 write cycles respectively) so if you're doing a lot of writing to those, they may become corrupted. In a test I did, an external EEPROM took about 3 days to start becoming corrupted.

Clarify that it's only writes that wear them out, not reads
