I've used a ext4 formatted, unencrypted (!) 64GB SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 thumbdrive together with Unison. I sync a collection of documentation, some application configurations and a bunch of git repositories to it. The sync was done 4-5 days a week. The amount of changes was less than 5MB a day. IMO SanDisk is a trustful company with products of high quality. But the thumbdrive has not even lasted a year! By the way... hdparm reports that the thumbdrive supports TRIM, but I was never able to use it! So much for the topic "the firmware will do that". ;-)
