It doesn't help, when we're talking about Atlas probes. I have one probe, where
external flash died twice, even it's placed in datacenter with UPS-protected
power.

I know that a very small number of probes is not a valid basis for statistics,
but there wasn't a USB drive failure
Fwiw, I always power directly from an outlet, never tributary on the USB.
I've yet to have such fails, so my anecdata aligns with the underpower
theory.

So I have a few theories. I have now had 3 different USB sticks fail on me:
It was powered through the dedicated wall plug included with the probe.

Could you perhaps write some statistical

I just had a Verbatim drive originally supplied with the probe go read-only, so
I would say RIPE is not procuring only SanDISK.

Can you correlate tests-until-failure or data-written-until-failure?
One of mine has failed at least two times now, and it could be that

We have no clear idea why they fail. It seems that time to failure is
highly
+1. I lost most of the probes this way and I'm not really sure how to
recover them - I need to ask for a batch of USB drives or ask all the hosts
to remove them... can't this be handled better with a firmware replacement?
I would at least then ask all the hosts to unplug the USB and leave the
