What brand of manufacturers of "flash drives" would you recommend?

Question

Iron

Some flash drives became unreliable. Kingston - die, Transcend - die.
Now another micro sd has gone into read-only and is not removed by anything.
What do you use?

Answer 1

sandisk is not bad

Answer 2

I have a 512MB Transcend bought 15 years ago. There is Kingston 8GB 7 years. The chip is in the proper use of a flash drive. NEVER FORMAT A FLASH DRIVE TO NTFS, ONLY FAT32! NTFS shortens the life of a flash drive by several times. Also, do not pull out the flash drive without dismantling the device.

Answer 3

I will say this: it all depends on which flash drive you get. For one, it can serve even 10 years, while for another, the exact same flash drive will die in a month. It depends on many factors. I bought a flash drive in the form of Batman on aliexpress, then it lived longer than a simple Transcend. So draw your own conclusions....

Answer 4

Modern cheap flash drives are simply not designed for long work :(.
If you take a flash drive, then take it with a guarantee (and a firm intention to apply for it in case of problems) - 3-5-lifetime or more expensive flash drives, industrial there and all that. But in any case - always make and have a fresh copy of the data.

Answer 5

anyone. look at the type of memory, mlc will live longer than tlc, the more chips, the longer it will work - therefore no microflash drives and monoliths.
