Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

Akschualy, thumb drive flash is the lowest quality, cheapest one (the yield thing, the outer parts of the waver). Do not have any expectancy of thumbdrives keeping your data longer than a few hours.

Is this supposed to be a joke about storing data on your thumb? Also thumbs are not cheap, probably…I hope.

Not a joke. And why the downvote? Quality distibution is generally SSD > SD-cards > thumbdrives. Thumbdrives are no backup medium.

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 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.
