Thanks. I always make back ups, and personally get rid of a pen when they start
to get a bit shaky physically.

Hi Barbra.
Most pen drives will retain data for at least five years, but as you say, you
should never solely rely on one place to store your important data. At the end
of the day, no place is completely safe, hard drives, pen drives, flash cards
and the like will eventually degrade.

I know most memory pens come with a guarantee period, some even come with a
lifetime guarantee. But is there a period of time after which it is best to get
rid of one and use a new one? Especially if the information stored on them is
valuable and no guarantee can retrieve valuable information is it? Just
wondering as I am using a couple I've had for a couple of years and maybe I
should transfer the information to newer ones? I do of course back up
information, so the loss would not be the end of the world.
