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 sticks through. I’ll revisit the original comment.
Don’t worry, you’re damn right about the quality of those things. They have crap flashes, they’re slow and fail all the time, even most of the “better” ones. I’m shocked sometimes at how much people can trust these devices for some reason
Not a joke. And why the downvote? Quality distribution is generally SSD > SD-cards > thumbdrives. Thumbdrives are no backup medium.
