Make a single-disk pool on the flash and set copies=3? ;)

It's not so much age that counts as the amount of use it has seen.
It might take half a year or so of intensive rewrite use pattern
to wear out the FAT region (as of one of my samples, on older
smaller flashes - newer may use a finer tech process and be less
robust).
