I pretty much said everything on the title :D

Another thing, though: use a filesystem that doesn't have journaling, like ext2. By its nature, flash storage can only be written to a certain number of times, and journaling will weigh down on the life of a flash drive much faster.

You can create an ext4 filesystem wtihout journaling.

I'm just a bit curious but would a USB hard drive survive the normal amount of re-writing non-live systems have and be about as protable (and harder to lose:) as flash drives? So can I treat USB HDDs as normal HDDs?

The re-writing limitation is specific to flash memory, so it wouldn't apply to any hard drive. From my understanding, the main thing that wears down a hard drive is starting it up and stopping it over and over; they last longer if they just keep spinning. I'm not sure how external hard drives
