I know that a very small number of probes is not a valid basis for statistics, but there wasn't a USB drive failure yet for the long-term, always-on probe. But they are powered with dedicated, stable power sources. Thus I tend to lean more towards the explanation involving level or stability of power, rather than # of writes.
