Has anyone here had problems with flash drives? I haven't. The only read errors I recall are the ones from when I used USB flash devices for the root and /var/cache/squid filesystems. I had one flash drive that died after very little use, only one that's done that. It wasn't used for anything particularly stressful, just storage and copying of files, not swap or anything frequently writing like that.
I've had a couple of usb drives go bad. They had some use, but mostly reads, not many write cycles. I tend to use btrfs on usb media now too since it picks up otherwise-silent corruption on these things.
