I'm trying to find out current wisdom on the likely survival time of
memory sticks / USB sticks / 'solid-state disk' storage.
CD and related technologies are well-known to have very short
life-expectancies, but what guidance exists in relation to storage of
back-ups on this alternative, now-ubiquitous storage-form (which now
seems to be down to about $5 per GB)?
Thanks for any leads!
