I back up my company's books on a usb memory stick.The external back-up drive would give better protection for all my files.Thanks for the good idea.
I'd be very careful storing anything mission critical on a USB flash drive.
I have heard of these things dying after the static from peoples clothing (with having the drive in their pocket) has killed the drive.
Maybe it's just a freak thing, but it's not the sort of risk I'd like to take with important data.
