In addition to the above concerns (and I've physically lost my share of thumb drives too), what would worry me is the reliability of these drives. From unplugging at the wrong time/ wrong way, to having the cases break, to just plain losing them, they aren't reliable enough for me to invest the time to load them up with BIAB or anything else of value.

How many flash drives have you had where you lost data? Too many for me.
