Flash Memory Life Expectancy Flash Drive Versus DVDs?

Flash drive versus DVDs? - flash memory life expectancy

I always have DVDs for backup my files, but now that flash drives are the prices dropped, so I'm passing the question to them. What do you think?

You can also tell if there are problems concerning the durability of these devices. Wikipedia I have this phrase, which worries me a little:

Flash drives in a position to cheat, "but that ... shorten the life of the device, which makes it useless for many entries .... Some file systems are designed for distributed applications across an entire storage device designed without the use an element (eg a directory), the life of the flash memory devices easily extended. Some USB flash drives, but have integrated this functionality into the life-sustaining treatment device, while others do not,Therefore, the user data in your device must be checked before the file system for that reason.

Once formatted DVD will only be stored, must be treated. However usb .... it can bring more problems. if they do not eject properly and consists of a large amount of data to ensure that half of them disappeared. better get an external. Target cheaper, but avoid really cheap PC world, lol
