I'm similar to some other people here, I guess once they've been bitten by data loss due to btrfs, it's difficult to advocate for it.

- lousken 2y agoI am assuming almost everybody at some point experienced data loss because they pulled out a flash drive too early. Is it safe to assume that we stopped using flash drives because of it?
- _joel 2y agoI'm not sure we have stopped using flash, judging by the pile of USB sticks on my desk :) In relation to the fs analogy if you used a flash drive that you know corrupted your data, you'd throw it away for one you know works.
- ryao 2y agoI once purchased a bunch of flash drives from Google’s online swag store and just unplugging them was often enough to put then in a state where they claimed to be 8MB devices and nothing I wrote to them was ever possible to read back in my limited tests. I stopped using those fast.
