Or are SanDisk Extreme Pro Solid State Flash Drives still good and not failing?
Thank you. This doesn’t apply to the flash drives though right?
Are these 2 basically compacted SSDs at a premium price? And not just flashdrives?
…And which of the 2 is the best all around? Obviously, the Kingston is twice as fast with (3.2 GEN 2) compared to SanDisk (3.2 GEN 1), but besides speed which one is the best overall in terms of quality build, reliability, data decay, and features? DRAM included or not, etc?
So just power it up and repair it every 6 months, and recopy it into the USBs every few years?
I plan on having two of them, with the same data. I heard flash drives are not good for cold storage, but aren’t all SSDs not good for cold storage? So what’s the difference? And does this premium solid state flash drive model make it as good for cold storage as any traditional big ssd?
Also, is the Kingston DataTraveler Max Flashdrive (1000mb/s) a good alternative, or is this SanDisk FlashDrive still the best over the Kingston in terms of build quality and safe longevity of data, even with the SanDisk having half the speed?
Thank you for the help in advance. It’s so confusing.
