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).

A colleague of mine recommended https://bulkmemorycards.com/ saying every device he's gotten from them was exactly as advertised. I've yet to need to order more but I bookmarked it for the next time I need to order more boot drives
