I bought a cheep 128GB thumb drive, but had to run badblocks on it when I
first got it to flush out all the bad sectors before it could be relied on.
I would be hesitant to rely on data written to these devices being
preserved for a significant length of time. If you are using for monthly
backups and rewriting the data then you should be fine, but trying to read
data written a couple of years ago may cause problems.
