Hello espressif,
I have official esp32-s3-wroom-1U module(N16R8), is there any way how to check which flash chip is used on board as i would like to check the maximum erase cycles. my project requires to write uin32_t every 5 minutes & two variables as well store logging data for 10 days.The payload size will be approximately 1000 bytes. How do i calculate how long the flash chip can last.
Thank you
Regards,
Vishnu

I think any flash we use has 100.000 cycles minimum. How long your flash lasts also depends on how you store your data, though... if you store it by hand by erasing and writing a sector, the 100.000 cycles is indeed all you get, but if you use anything that has wear-leveling (NVS, SPIFFS, ...) your flash probably will last order of magnitudes longer.
