android-sdcard

In my chat app, I am adding the ability to log chats. The logs are saved on the sdcard and one BufferedWriter is kept open for every person/channel chat is done with. I'm wondering what effects this might have have on the sdcard and its life.

My BufferedWriter's buffer size is to 1024, I'm also wondering if that is too small or too big.
