If it's a computer part, it's failed on me at some point since I started building all my own PCs in 1983.

I have had several flash drives fail, although I'm pretty sure each failure was related to how it was removed without properly ejecting it. I have had only one portable SSD drive fail, probably for the same reason (in other words, my fault) and I use them a lot.

I think your department of redundancy department is operating correctly and will work well for whatever you decide, but I do recommend you stay away from flash drives for everyday professional work.
