Not really. I believe sandisk has wear leveling on the 201 series CF cards and on their new generation CF/SD for sure they have it (and unfortunately for us they discontinued industrial temperature in the new line so we have had to look elsewhere for CF cards).
Unfortunately a lot of what is sold to consumers at retail is cheap crap. :)
