You could do it this way, but IMHO you will most likely outgrow the 
hardware before you ever have problems. Modern cards have wear 
leveling, which prevents the same portions of the card from being 
used too many times.

If you're that worried about log writes, you can also just add more 
RAM, send them to /dev/shm, and then periodically move them somewhere 
more permanent. Granted, you will lose data in the event of a kernel 
panic, but this might be an acceptable tradeoff.
