Flash can 'ware out'.  Can you replace the flash hardware?

I have used RAID cards with batteries for caching writes that might not
make it if a power event hits, and we had to replace the batteries every
couple of years.  Thankfully the RAID controller monitoring software also
monitored battery states.
