In the datasheet is this nWRITE,BLOCK; Amount of writes allowed in a block between erase; Max 181 1. Does every word that is written to the flash count as 1? Or does it count as 1 if e.g. 20</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 22 Jun 2021 11:21:23 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/76582/nrf52832-nwrite-block" /><item><title>RE: nRF52832: nWRITE,BLOCK</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/316448?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jun 2021 11:21:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:636efad5-d754-4c05-85b7-71d35e248154</guid><dc:creator>run_ar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1. Yes, every write regardless of length counts as 1 out of the 181 writes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Yes, flipping 1 bit is considered a write. and flipping 32 bits in 32 write operations counts as 32 writes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Depends on how often this is updated. We would normally use our &lt;span&gt;&lt;a title="Flash Data Storage (FDS)" href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/sdk_nrf5_v17.0.2/lib_fds.html?cp=8_1_3_16"&gt;Flash Data Storage (FDS)&lt;/a&gt; module.
