Went to site, and tried to buy 3 of the 256G flashes, but
on checkout it failed to support my address here in Guam
(US Territory). It only seems to list the 50 states??

I use and sell flash drives for backup, but only Samsung's.
The rest are a joke.
https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/usb-flash-drives/
Samsung is also the only flash drive I have come
across the can handle a storm on small file transfers.
Speaking of 'a storm on small file transfers", I have a
fully bootable Fedora 35 install on one of them.
Tried doing it on other brands and it trashed them.
A total waste of time.
The getting lost is an issue. So far only one
customer has lost one. Usually they put them on
some kind of key chain and store them in a fireproof
media safe.
