Last time I used a USB memory stick the other week it failed on me. It was a 16GB one that I hadn't used for many years. The old data read off OK and new files seemed to write onto it normally, but when I later tried to read off the new files on another PC it showed the stick full of files/directories with random characters, and only one real directory left with correctly-named files and contents. Writing the new data had quietly messed the whole stick up, presumably due to some failure in the flash chip. >> Find this kind of USB flash stick instead.

I don't know how you'd reliably tell a "common USB stick design" from an "SSD architecture" anyway. Going from the marketing guff is never any guarantee. I'd go with M-Discs - keep the stuff to go wrong in the drive, not the storage medium. >> To test those, use a USB type A port with a *red* tab.

USB devices can tell the host what version they are when they're first detected and it can treat them appropriately thereafter. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
