In today’s blog-entry, I am just further describing what is already obvious from the entry’s title. It’s that not so long ago I got my first-ever USB flash-drive. It was given to me by my mother, while she got it as a gift and since she doesn’t have a computer at home (only at the job), she don’t actually need it …

In particular, it’s a so-called USB2.0 flash-drive with an official name JetFlash, TS256MJF2B, sn: 126465-0608 with capacity of 256 MBs. On the envelopment it also says that it has the following properties: “Ultra-Speed function”, “Boot-Up function”, “PC-Lock function”, “Recovery function”, “Security function” (password-protection), and “Data retention: up to 10 years”, “Erase cycles: >100.000 times”.

Well, and because of those last two specifications mentioned above (the one anout “10 years”, and on the other hand only “100.000 erase-cycles”), I’ve started to wonder the folowing. Do people in general use it for backing-up things; meaning for back-ups of more or less small things, which are too big for a 3.5 floppy, and too small for a common 700 MB CD-ROM, or for more or less “static” storing of collection of programs and stuff things on it, for instance for a so-called “malware-cleaning/removal toolkit” etc. You see, it’s that I would like for this device to work as long as possible. So in my case, non-stop backing-up of things somehow doesn’t “fit into the picture”, since this is in my opinion much too stressful for the USB drive itself (because in that case, it would be constantly used/written-to)

So again, I am curious, how do you folks generally use it et cetera, so any experiences from your side are rather desired (of course, only if you actually own one); so please, comments are more than welcomed.
