    Even flash drives wear out. They are only good for a certain number of writes. That's going to be a high number, but if you try to use it as a system drive or something that does a lot of writes it will die on you in time.

      I have this[^] I have had no problems with it, and the reviewers that gave 1 star seem to not be very good with technology. The drive needs a lot of power to operate, and a USB 2.0 port won't provide it. I still can't figure out how people can think a device made for USB 3.0 will work full speed and with no errors in a USB 2.0 or even a (GASP) USB 1.0 port! (I know people who have computers with USB 1.0 Ports, and they say 'Upgrade? There are newer versions?' and wonder why Windows 7 won't run on their 10+ Year old machine.)

          Anything more than 32 GB and you're asking for trouble when it fails. I've already replaced two at work since we have a few machines non-networked and need to use these for reading and writing. Short lifecycle.

                          I am talking about sticks. Try reading and writing to it a dozen times a day from multiple machines. It won't last long.
