Nope, the ram on the USB stick.

I prefer to call them flash memory.

They're both. And whatever you call it, it’s the speed of that that’s the
problem.


Yes. They are a hybrid of ROM and RAM. perhaps why they invented the name
flash.
they're not like ram, you cant rewrite random addresses.
the behviour is closest to EEPROM

Whatever you do buy, check it with H2testw.

I'm looking for a good quality 128Gb USB stick.

Some of the smaller (ie 8gb, 32gb) sticks that I've purchased over the
last year or so have become faulty, or the connector (tin, held on with
solder) has become intermittent, so I'm not terribly impressed with the
general quality that's around.

So far, the sticks that use the circuit board for the USB connection
instead of a separate connector seem to be the hardiest, but I haven't
been able to find a 128Gb stick with this feature.

The stick doesn't need to be bullet-proof, or hermetically sealed, but it
will spend some time in my pocket and on my keyring.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm in Melbourne if it matters.

Over the years I've heard a few people complain that USB sticks suffer high
mortality on keyrings with keys - especially if dropped on the floor.

I've always kept my USB sticks in my pocket, along with all the other junk
that accumulates there - usually 2 or 3 USBs held together with a rubber
band, I recently retired a 1Gb because it was getting a bit flaky - the size
should give some idea how long ago I bought that.

The first ever USB stick I purchased quite some years ago was 32Mb (yes,
megabytes), and it cost me $105. I still have it, and it still works.

I wish the same could be said for some of the rest I've bought over the
years. Two Toshiba 8Gb sticks (to name names) deserve particular
mention, with one becoming unreliable after just one week, and the other
failing completely within a month.

I bought a secure traveler 8GB starting to fail now after 3 years?
Use it or email and password saver (password Depot)
No other USB has ever ailed
Bought some cheapest from China none worked from word go!
Have found the only places in China to reasonably (Ebay) trust are
Taiwan and Hong Kong
