Does anyone have experience with "micro" or "low profile" USB's? I'm looking for something reliable and cheap to have in various sizes for live CD's, password management, backups, etc. I've had USB's brick themselves in the past and lost some data so I'm even more skeptical of the micro USB's reliability since some reviews of them have said they bricked themselves eventually.

Duplicate all valuable data elsewhere. This applies regardless of media type.
If you're too lazy/cheap to manage physical backup media, you could always encrypt your files with strong encryption and then upload them to a bunch of random file-upload services.

Yes I learnt that awhile ago the hard way. Which is why I'm looking into micro USB's for easily concealable backups. At the moment I have 4 redundant USB backups but they would be quite cumbersome to carry around. Also what's the best method of encrypting a USB?
