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. -- Stuart Ward M +44 7782325143
