OMG, sometimes Mike is right.
Although today's flash drives are less fragile than those of old, they
will from time to time lose all their contents. While all media will
eventually fail, the unacceptable thing about flash drives is the ease
with which this can happen. A little bit of static electricity or
pulling the unit out of the USB socket at the wrong moment and your
data is toast. You should never keep your only copy on a flash drive.
