What are your thoughts and expectations re. the use of so-called Pen
drives,
solid-state USB2 Flash memory sticks? No more mechanical problems with
drives!
Would these (or other solid-state storage devices) become a viable and
reliable
long-term storage alternative to CD-R, hard disk, tape or other
storage media?
What is their life expectation and vulnerability?

Cheers,
