Someone told me putting these tiny USB flash drives in my wallets that

do you thnk of that? I see people having them on keychains and they hit
tables, desks, etc. hard and loudly a lot!


Unlike the physical components of a hard drive, a USB flash drive will
take knocks a lot better ...


obviously.

but in some models / badly made ones it
could cause to chips being dislodged, bent connectors, etc.


nonsense.

There's
also the issue of the caps getting lost, and then dust, dirt, etc. can
get inside causing issues.


that doesn't matter.
