I based my post on my Windows 98 experience. It would crash often, and
you'd almost always find errors on the FAT 32 when running chkdisk.
I hadn't found an error when checking my previous USB flash drive, and
it was on my keychain getting battered around and rained on for a couple
years.
My fear would be if there were a problem writing to it, and the file
system got corrupted, maybe just at the written file.
Don't take counsel of your fears.
