Ist vorab erkennbar wann ein USB-Stick den Geist aufgibt?
Ich nutze einen USB-Stick um Bilder im JPG-Format zu speichern und aufzubewahren! Der Stick wird oft beansprucht weil viele Bilder dazu und immer mal wieder einige weg kommen! Ich benutze die Sticks weil sie transportabel und an mehreren Rechnern flexibel einsetzbar sind!
Hin und wieder kommt es leider in unterschiedlichen Zeitabständen vor daß so ein USB-Stick in die Knie geht und daß sich deshalb die Bilddateien plötzlich nicht mehr öffnen lassen! Wenn ich nicht zufällig eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem weiteren Stick habe, sind jedes mal viele Bilder einfach weg!
Kann ich irgendwie im Vorraus herausfinden wie lange es der USB-Stick noch macht, oder ist das ein reines Glücksspiel??

In advance from our own experience: In most cases, no!
And I also have to say, in over 90% of the cases, the stick is suddenly no longer responsive after a renewed insertion into the computer, as there is a defect in the chip itself, because then even recovery tools like R-Studio do not use anything.
USB sticks themselves are not storage media for permanent archiving. In my work, even more and more sticks of employees come to me on the table that no longer work after the company has distributed software over USB sticks for a long time. Many sticks don’t work anymore – and these are well-known manufacturers – when they hit here in Japan and have been strangled by the transport company through the X-ray system. However, the famous switch-on current surge during insertion remains the cause of death number one.
Humanity loses its memory, this is one of the most difficult issues nowadays. If you store any data on USB sticks because you don’t want to park it on the HDD or SSD, then always have a backup.
I used to be the SCSI backup tape drive, then BluRay Disks, but this is now all out of time and the amount of data outdated and beyond good and evil.
Quite honestly:
Recently, residual post retailers are spitting out NOS laptop hard drives, which were stored for several years as a spare part and were detached from the SSD at fantastic prices, still use as backup disks.
Or you’re building a NAS system with RAID system like True NAS, you’re on the budget.
But USB disks do not give me great confidence in failure security.
Using a USB stick as a single backup medium is risky, I would definitely save somewhere else, best on an external record.
You can identify problems with this; USB sticks, however, fall out “smallly”:

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately you confirm my experience!
No! You don’t know when he went kaput had one of Russia 2 weeks, then he was garbage! Rosmansticks generally don’t last long!
USB sticks can also be 30 years old
No one can prophesy. However, one should still have at least one further fuse. Because:
If they are properly treated, well-processed sticks should last several years to decades…
Try to put them in dirty places or pack them in dirty bags. And use a cover or cap if you don’t.
And no, pure file system errors can neither be seen from the outside nor predicted.
