I would suggest flash drives only for temporary storage. Even the most current archival storage medium is "temporary". Looking at past and future technology, what 20 year old storage medium is still current; what current media will be viable 10-15 years from now?
It's ironic. Some 500 year old books are still readable. How many of us can still read mag tape, 8" floppy drive, Bernoulli disc or Syquest cartridge?
