I dont knw if this is the ryt place.....but an answer would be really help ful two days ago my laptop hard drive gave away....it was corrupted to the root...took it out of the laptop. now new notebook hds are really expensive for me...so i use the pen drive and run linux mint. its gr8 bcs i dnt need much space on this notebook as i mostly wrk on pc.its a 8 gb pen drive. my question is --- does a flash drive get corrupted eaily when used all the tym.....bcs this flash drive is being used as a hd ryt now.....and i lyk to keep the lappy turned on all the tym....so is it worth to use the pen drive.

My answer would be everything has a life span and will over time get old and need replacing however a flash drive should have a very long life span without corruption. It might be slower than a hard drive. I am not 100% sure about this answer but for not believe it is correct.
