Would Lemmings be so kind as to post their USB-A/C memory sticks of choice?

Right now I have a small collection of Kingston USB drives I bought a decade ago. Haven't had any issues with them yet, but I know they won't last forever. They're all named Reebok[storage capacity] (because sneaker-net).

One decade old Kingston Datatraveler, one newer cheap Datatraveler, and a whole bunch of SATA SSDs inside usb3 enclosures
