What are you doing to your thumb drives that they don't last a year???? I have several that are 5+ and one or two that are 10+ - and aside from speed differences I've mever had one fail or break that wasn't mishandled (ie I accidentally force it into the plug the wrong way and bent it - these were usb-c and micro-usb). Having said that, I usually use SanDisk, PNY, or Samsung. I have a ruggedized one from Gorilla that I got 2 years ago that I am happy with thus far that is USB-A 3.0.

I'm a freakishly large person at over 6 and a half feet tall and 300lbs plus. My wife says I'm like a gorilla in a glass house.

😂🤣😅 Similar but scaled down at 5'8" and a not entirely soft 250 - when I am shopping in fragile stores with my wife they always ask if I need help - 'nope, I'm just here to keep my hands in my pockets and try not to break stuff'

I'd try the [Gorilla](http://Check this out! https://a.co/d/fuA8L5D) or look for another ruggedized drive. Or maybe a metal 1-piece drive like this - not necessarily this one, just an illustration of what I mean.
