in the span of a single month is next to zero

It's much higher than zero, if let's say your ssd goes kaput & you try moving everything at once to a new one. That action by itself comes with risk, especially if the usb stick is very large & manufactured after covid. There is also the bit rot issue, usb sticks are useless as backup solutions for any use case, it's just a false sense of security.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
