Detailed explanation-1: -Flash drives are likely to be more durable than hard drives, as they don’t have any moving parts compared to highly mechanical HDDs that have stacks of spinning platters and read/write heads traversing those disks.
Detailed explanation-2: -While external hard drives generally offer better protection against data loss due to their advanced technology, USB flash drives have very good reliability when they are stored properly. When carrying data from one device to another, a USB flash drive is more reliable since it has no moving parts.
