Hello, I was wondering? How bad are USB flash drives for storing game data. Cause I’ve heard two different outcomes. They fail easily or they can last years. I don’t want to get an external hard drive with y cables, cause the lowest storage I see available is 300gb but I have like 1/5th of that (and they’re expensive). I don’t need that much space. What do you recommend?

Additional question: To avoid writing constant data to the thumb drive and wearing it out quickly. Is it possible to put the save data onto the system memory and keep the game files on the thumb drive. So that it writes the save data to the system memory but reads the game files from the usb stick?
