Default USB thumb drives.

Do these thumb drives last forever, or should
their contents be transferred to the latest USB
drives?


I've replaced a grand total of '1' since USB thumb drives became available.
- the failure rate wasn't age...fell out of my shirt pocket into a can of
paint.

Did have another one, an ancient Memorex 1GB drive where the drive assembly
detached from the plastic casing
- a few tiny drops of Gorilla glue applied with a toothpick and tiny C-clamp
for a few hours fixed(it).
