Funnily enough, I am doing these experiments in 2024. All seems to work in the short run. Please wait a year for the results :)

P.S. USB flash drives failed miserably, except for maybe Samsung FIT. Very unreliable.

USB flash failed in terms of writes? I'm kind of curious about the story of longterm offline storage, vs occasional use since I think the controller needs to both have logic to actively refresh over months/years and occasionally be on to do so?

Yes, I had a case of an SSD drive zeroing out over 2-3 years. Must also be true for SD cards.
