So far I have never had a single flash drive failure, but I have heard that they do, occasionally fail. But the type of flash drive I'm referring to is the ADAPTER type (similar to the MAUSB500 from Olympus) where a flash disk plugs into the drive/adapter so that you can have multiple disks with one adapter. And I always keep two of everything - two disks with the same info.

And we tell them NOT to store data solely on a flashdrive - they DO fail. External USB harddrives are okay for backup. Yes, I miss cabooses too. Ken
