Most SS drives are well into the $100s, so IME that is a different
'quality regime' comparted to a $10 thumb drive.

I would be slightly concerned about HD cards, but I never use them for
storage more than a few days. Pulling them off your camera, for example,
is much better for viewing than leaving hundreds IN your camera! I have
heard horror stores many times about a camera getting dropped and the user
loosing hundreds of pics; at least most smartphones offer Cloud backup
options.
