Usb Sticks

Any thoughts on the most RELIABLE USB memory sticks?

I use them (encrypted) to store sensitive data, but sometimes worry about their robustness.

I have bought cheapo, branded mid price and astronomically expensive and found no diff in reliability....I'd be backing up anything important on 2!! EHD's stored in different places

Sound advice from woofy - a single copy of anything important is NEVER sufficient and separate locations is a must. I have at least 6 copies of very important stuff, all on different media although some is a separate drive in the same machine.

Quite agree. It’s more the encryption that interests me - I had a Stick recently where the encryption failed.
