Flash drive brands?

Marvel1 · 2018-01-11 16:42:34

Is there any other decent brands other than listed below that I know of: Kingston SanDisk Verbatim I'm looking at getting a 128GB, I don't want to buy a cheap one from a brand I'm unaware of and it fails or breaks easily, and missing out on any other decent brands.. Thank you

If data security is a priority then you want to have at least TWO current backups to different device types and kept in different locations.

ALL backup devices will fail; you just don't know when it will happen...

I didn't suggest otherwise. I was simply answering the OP's question.

That said, USB sticks are a weak link in any backup strategy.
