I just backed up a thumb drive last night and then I plugged one into the computer today and, wrote some articles and I think I saved them on the thumb drive. I forgot to eject the thumb drive and now my thumb drive crashes the computer because the thumb drive is probably corrupted. Ejecting the thumb drives usually finishes writes to the media. I usually don't have computer problems but it happens. I used device manager to check my usb ports and the computer reports they are working properly.
I am now running off of my backup until I can fix the corrupted thumb drive. Years of work can be gone if you don't have multiple backups and having different types of media can also be beneficial.
The media on a thumb drive can last possibly 21 years but most thumb drives have a warranty for two years because the crystal can dry out. Hard Drives can also fail after five years.
