backup storage .. hmm definitely not.
use them for transporting data between places while keeping the
original data on at least one hard disk..
so i.g. transporting your assignment work from your home computer to
your school/uni lab computer but always copying latest version to
your home computer after each update.
life? had one die after 3 months of kid glove usage and have another
thats 2 years old and gone through the wash half a dozen times and
still working.
Hi Muggers,
I often use a USB thumb drive as a giant floppy disk. I work in
different places and it is great to be able to carry all sorts of
stuff and use it on different computers. I have heard from a couple
of people lately that thumb drives have a limited life if used in
this way, that is, they should only be used as backup storage. Is
this true?
