Still a USB thumb drive is much better

I'm more confident the other way around.
Maybe I'm one of the few lucky ones? I have 2 thumb drives of 128GB from SanDisk I've used for 2~3 years
with no issues. An 8GB one from Transcend that I've had for about 5 years. And a non-name one that I don't recall
how old it is but has no issues.
I've replaced the optical drive in my Tower 3 times since 2008 and have media written on previous drives be
unreadable on the replacement drive. The optical drive in my Asus laptop died a few years ago and I decided
not to replace it.
I also have multiple SSD from Crucial that have power on hours of at least 4 years with 0 NAND blocks
being reallocated.
But, when it comes to backups, I have much more confidence in my RAID enabled NAS and rsync. :-)
