Interesting.

How many write-erase cycles can be done?

I don't think this is rewritable storage, this looks to be permanent forever storage. So you wouldn't put this in a regular computer.

Still useful as archive storage I guess.

For some use cases, sure. Personally I can't remember when was the last time I reached for old backups to dig something up.
