      Not a joke. And why the downvote? Quality distribution is generally SSD > SD-cards > thumbdrives. Thumbdrives are no backup medium.

        Wasn’t me, but I’m guessing because you said they only last a few hours? I took that ridiculous exaggeration and assumed you meant writing notes on your thumb.

          I said, don’t expect your data to last longer than a few hours. Because that’s how yields work, defective areas get firmware-disabled in the factory. Lower quality has only more of them, with less strict quality requirements to count as ok.

          To admit, i’ve had few and late hours sleep the last few days, the autism gets stronger. I’ll revisit the original comment.
