Originally Published 1 year ago — by TechSpot
A report from German data recovery company CBL reveals a decline in the quality of USB sticks and microSD cards, with more devices using NAND chips with reduced capacity and missing manufacturer logos. Some USB sticks are found to have microSD cards soldered onto the board, and technological advancements have led to decreased endurance and retention in these components. The report warns against relying too much on the reliability of flash memory and advises caution when choosing storage devices due to the prevalence of inferior-quality components and fake products in the market.
