which is the most reliable USB pendrive, i am aware that flash drives have a limited write cycle but some seem to have a shorter life than others despite the maker, also a common problem is that the soldered connection where the USB connector is connected to the pen seems very vulnerable to breaking and often thats the 1st thing to fail even under normal usage. this defeats the whole advantage of having a portable method of transporting data around, when the drives can fail at anytime without warning.
