I have been using SanDisk Ultra Flair 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive for about a year. I have seen them fail, and when they do, it is immediate. I use a different one each day, so if one fails, I still have a valid backup available. I have had good luck with SanDisk drives, other brands have not worked well for me. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://linuxcounter.net/user/425914.html] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
