that is said? Years ago several friends and myself all picked up 64mb

other projects we were coding.? Maybe it was an extended period of time
(we ended up switching to compatible removable drive bays) but 2 out of
3 of us lost all the data on our thumb drives around the same time.?
I haven't heard may others share the concern but i wouldn't use ssd as a
tech unless im forced to for that reason.
