Realized that I have owned this USB stick for almost 5 years. Black Friday 2014 I got this. So I don't know the failure rate of USB sticks, but I have several from back then and even older ones (e.g. less than 1GB) that still work. I find it a little odd that he's dying now. It connects to the PC/Laptop and I can watch the video from the disc and all of a sudden it disconnects. It turns off after about 10-15 minutes of inactivity. None of my current drives do this. It doesn't seem to care what device it's connected to, it does so on all of them. It's not a big deal and I got it for a decent price, but I would recommend other more established brands in this price range.
