I'm interested. So what constitutes a read/write cycle - one
access? That's not so good, although so far as I do backups
onto one every month or so, the thing will outlast this
demon-possessed computer by far. What about a USB drive that
uses more robust technology?

Ah. I thought that everything made in the last decade has
at least an old-type USB port and the software to make it go.

 ML> Ah. The price is definitely right.

The price is truly definitely right.
