Can I make it fit, or do I have to just let it go? - Lemmy.World

Pen drives are cheap as dirt nowadays, especially small ones that are like 16GB. I’d just buy a new one.
Yes, they are cheap, but they wear out so fast that they aren’t even worth that little money you put into them.
Yes, flash memory has limited writes, but what are you doing with your USB drives that they fail? I have at least one from 2005 that still works fine.
The only pendrive that lasted longer than 2 years for me is a 1gb lexar pendrive that is so old that I don’t remember where it comes from, but from google I know that they were sold between 2006-12. I use them for installers, and sometimes to give legally obtained movies to my dad. I might be unlucky, but I had a pendrive that only lasted 2 writes.
