Also, I have no issue myself with USB thumb drives. Indeed, I've got a 256GB one permanently plugged into the back of my desktop. I use it for daily backups of important things, like my ssh private keys to get into remote servers.
Thumb drives (sticks) fail eventually. That technology has a limited number of writes. How long they will last is an unknown. There is no SMART, there is no wear levelling. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
