My calculations show that USB thumb drives are now very poor value.
The cost/bit for USB drives is now higher than for commodity SSD
sata drives, but with far lower performance and endurance.
Given that a USB-to-sata converter cable can be had for less than £5,
just use a a SSD instead. Of course, you really want USB 3 at least,
but even on USB 2, it probably still makes some sense.
