In response to "I've had a lot of problems with dying discs, so I'd prefer a flash drive." by nubby

It's not a drive at all, it's flash chips soldiered to the board.

- But what I'm saying is that if the flash has an issue, you can't do anything with it. It's new computer time. - spamlet Oct 29, 09:19 2
  - True, but it's less likely to have issues in the first place, from what I've read. -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 09:20 1
