I have been using SanDisk Ultra Flair 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive for
about a year. I have seen them fail, and when they do, it is immediate.
I use a different one each day, so if one fails, I still have a valid
backup available. I have had good luck with SanDisk drives, other
brands have not worked well for me.
