My experience with #FlashDrives recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with #LUKS, using #cryptsetup or with formatting a partition with #Btrfs, for instance, using #gparted and doing other tinkering with #Gnome #disks. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.

So, I bought an SSD recently and stuff seems to be copied over with much more fidelity, not to mention at much higher speed!

@mkwadee I’ve pretty much given up on flash drives and have started using small USB SSD’s instead. The performance difference is incredible.
