megatron-uk: I don't understand. I have the bulk of my computer work on a flash drive. I also have my DOS and Amiga games on a flash drive.

20 years of working in an education environment where all the students carry their work around on flash drives.

The amount of PhD candidates who have lost their entire research or dissertation because of faulty flash drives is not insignificant.
