USB flash drives are rubbish for any filesystem except FAT32 and then still only gracefully accept large sequential writes. A few years ago I thought it would be a good idea to put the root partition of a few of my small Debian servers on USB flash, so that the harddisks could spin down at night and I could easily prepare and switch a new Debian-version. However, each and every USB stick got trashed within a year, no matter which brand, size or product line and despite specifically formatting them ext3 without a journal. I now use low-end but recent series of SSD's and have had no such problems any more. I don't use btrfs on them as yet, but ext4 even with a journal is doing just fine.
