USB mass storage is compatible with Linux. SANDISK Memory Zone™ is not.

#93I want one that is shaped like the USB-C port. Like it was extruded from the port. About as long as a key, maybe a shorter key, like a mailbox key. Has a rounded end with a hole to make a very sturdy keyring hole. Capacity is limited to what would be reliable and not overheat. <1g.
It sounds like you're describing the yubikey 5c form factor. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a flash drive matching that form factor in my years of searching.

#94Plug and stay Hopefully, this has been tested for durability and some MTBF specs are available to prove it. Otherwise, buyer beware. EDIT: I couldn't find any MBTF specs so I looked up the "limited warranty" for this product. There is no warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation.
"Plug and stay" is a bad idea. A couple of laptops ago, when putting it into the laptop backpack, my hand slipped and the laptop dropped about eight inches into the pocket. It landed directly onto a mouse dongle still plugged into the USB slot. (I know, the dongle should have been "up", I was distracted!) The result was a broken slot, bummer.

#95Someone please copy the yubikey 5c form factor but make it a flash drive. I've been looking for years for a small, durable, usb type-c flashdrive for my keychain but nothing comes close to the yubikey 5c. The 5c has the metal ring so it won't ever rip off my keychain, the hole is large enough to fit a solid metal ring through it, and it is small enough that I can keep it on my keychain and use it without stressing my…
The best I have found so far with good specs is the "sandisk SanDisk ultra dual drive go". The spinny thing is super annoying but you can glue it in place if you don't need the type-A. It's a bit bigger than the yubikey, but it's smaller than the other alternatives.

Amazon is a little higher priced, but you can get free shipping.

#97Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can't say i have the same experiences. The only products to fail me where really really cheap AliExpress devices.
Sandisk in general I’ve had good luck with - but there are a ton of fakes out there. That said, I see no way this drive could dissipate any useful amount of heat at all, so suspicious it would be a problem under sustained write loads. Especially since most use cases likely would never have sustained write loads.
The way to tell if it's genuine Sandisk is if you can't get the damn thing out of the package without cussing!

That's the one that I use now! I'm weary of the spinny kind because with other brands/models the outer spinner has ripped off the flash drive, but at least so far I haven't had that issue with the "SanDisk ultra dual drive go". The only modification I've had to do to it so far is lubricating the spinny bit because it was all grindy and rough.

#99Since some time ago when "storage is cheap" was trendy, I have been thinking about the question of physical boundaries of data storage, i.e. how many Terabytes can be fit in a square (cubic?) centimetre? Do we know?

That number is directly proportional to the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.
