We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hello! If this is the wrong place to ask this question, please let me know and kindly push me into the right direction :)

So, I am looking for a USB Flash Drive. I do not care about form factor, storage capacity or speed, since the file on there will only be a few bytes.

BUT, I need it to be reliable. I've had many USBs not working / breaking out of nowhere, without any impact from outside. They just simply stopped working.

So, what are your recommendations for a really reliable USB flash drive?
