My experience with flash disks have not been very pleasant. Not especially when I relied on it as a data backup medium, when there was a need to format the hard disk of one company I was maintaining there network infrastructure.
After backing up the data, read it back, and confirmed, that the data was actually written to the flash disk. And to my greatest shock! After re-installing the operating system files and applications, I could not find the data I just wrote to the flash disk. It has dissappeared.
This incident has happened to me twice now!
Can anyone find any reason why, or ist just that the USB flash disk technology is in its infancy and not yet a reliable means of carrying or moving data.
Regards ALL
