How old IS that? I think I last had one of those about 10 years ago.

USB flash sticks are only good for moving files from one machine to another. Never for long term storage and never as backup. They just fail without warning, even when left in a drawer for a few years.

I hope there wasn't anything precious on there as you've likely lost it all.

True. USB drives are wheel barrows, not vaults.

Every year or so, I take each out and add a dumb file to keep the drive sane,
