Rod,
Flash drives should only be used as a backup and not a primary source for data. 
So if a flash drive (or hard drive) goes poof, ka-putt, pop, or fizzle, you 
still have data on the other drive. Usually flash drives are pretty reliable. I 
keep all my embroidery stuff on a flash drive and also backup the whole 
computer once a month since I have a bunch of personal stuff on it as well. I 
use a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive for backing up the whole hard 
drive. This is the one I have

  This way I have multiple backup copies. I keep the flash drive in my pocket 
with me all the time because I use it for work as well so if the house burns 
down while I'm not home, I still have my embroidery files. Another popular 
option is online backup if you want to pay $20/month for it. That way your data 
is always backed up off-site.
