at least being on a thumb drive would be more durable, compact, and have faster read time.
Actualy, thumb drive flash is the lowest quality, cheapest one (the yield thing, the outer parts of the waver). Do not have any expectancy of thumbdrives keeping your data longer than a few hours.
Wasn’t me, but I’m guessing because you said they only last a few hours? I took that ridiculous exaggeration and assumed you meant writing notes on your thumb.
I said “don’t expect your data to last longer than a few hours”. Because that’s how yields work, defective areas get firmware-disabled in the factory. Lower quality has only more of them, with less strict quality requirements to count as ok.
To admit, i’ve had few and late hours sleep the last few days, the autism gets stronger. I’ll revisit the original comment.

Edit: …
Is this supposed to be a joke about storing data on your thumb? Also thumbs are not cheap, probably…I hope.
Not a joke. And why the downvote? Quality distribution is generally SSD > SD-cards > thumbdrives. Thumbdrives are no backup medium.
