Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified 7 external links on USB flash drive. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
eUSB redirects here, although this article currently never mentions it. Apparently this article used to mention embedded USB (eUSB), [1] but somehow that information was lost?
The article claims:
This makes it appear as if the average flash drive has such performance, although that is obviously not true. And readers may confuse shelf life with the actual data retention span. On optical media, for examples, those are similar. But on flash storage, data retention expiring just leads to logical errors, which occurs much earlier than physical defects, but can be postponed by refreshing the data, as described in Flash storage § Archival or long-term storage.
More than one year ago, I added a section to this talk page. At the beginning of the article, I found a source about the 2 TB limit for flash drives from 2016. I am pretty sure that I have seen flash drives with higher capacities so I was going to ask for someone to update the beginning of the article.
I checked back again and the date was only updated to 2018. I posted that section in March of 2022, more than a year ago! Could someone please yet again update the USB storage capability?
