After about four years, the flash memory can become unstable due to low
voltage retention.  Also, rememember that flash memory of any type has a
finite number of R/W cycles.  Using any type of flash memory for long-term
storage is a bad idea.  I'd put it on something more permanent such as CD/DVD
though all media types are subject to failures of different type.

You're on-topic here.  I know the moderator.

Later,
Sean
