are cheap, non-brand usb sticks liable to break?

by break i mean corrupt files and stop working & should i pay more for a brand

thanks!

yes, it's not like they're massively expensive

yeah i know but i found a nice one that looked like a block of gold lol

i bought one for 4 quid 5 years ago and it works perfectly to this very day...

I bought a £2.99 4GB stick on ebay, still going strong, had it easily 3 years, use it daily.

get it then

Depends how important your data is really. I know with my SDHC cards I normally stick to Sandisk rather than going for a cheaper alternative but that's just me.

Aren't they all cheap now days anyway? :S

Pretty much ^

Got a 32GB one for £12 like a month ago (sandisk)

I stole mine from my school lost property 6 years ago
its never had a cap
it's all bent and funny inside

and it still works perfectly


basically, you'll be fine, but always save your documents onto a computer and to your usb stick
