I always copy and paste files to bring to clients' offices for Presentation. I have been using Pen Drives (aka Thumb Drive) for many years. I wonder if Micro SD Card is more reliable?

Isn't pendrive from reputable brands with high speed a lot more convenient vs SD card (and the need for adaptor)?

eitherway, if just want to ensure reliability, get 2 pendrives and copy the files into both pendrives. This was what I used to do...

thing is the pendrive's connector will be pulled in and out of the USB port so many times for so many years.... so I guess the wear and wear is far greater than the Micro SD cos we can change the card reader...but the Micro SD card itself has no wear and tear there is no pulling in and out

But a pendrive is not meant to be used as if it will last forever. Furthermore, they are relatively cheap nowadays. can just replace every 2 to 3 years....
(I still have thumbdrives from 2008 that I am using with zero issue... usually just to update bios of computers, or to put files to print at shop).

how often does your pendrive fail due to usb wear and tear? very curious.
