    Yeah, they are horribly unreliable.

    I got myself 5 sticks, put the same data on all 5.

    1st was dead within a month. 2nd & 3rd both dead in 4m, 4th dead in 6m. The 5th is still alive 3 years later.

    It’s a shit lottery, don’t play it, modern flash drives are absolutely garbage. Yet I still have a whole pile of 1,2, 4 GB flash drives from over a decade ago and they all still work.

      Old flash drives used to be all SLC.

      Newer ones, use the cheapest tech for the same capacity, with QLC being about 16 times less reliable than SLC.
