Are there differences in reliability between thumb drives? (feddit.de)

I lost my flash drive and need a new one. Transfer speeds don’t matter too much. I will mainly use it to create bootable media and to transfer a few files between computers and/or phones (no cloud storage for me).

Now I’m questioning whether I should get the cheapest drive I can find or if there really is a difference in quality between €8 and €30. What experience did you make?

There was one youtube I followed who compared a few he had. He found some would report a good bit less storage than advertised, while others were pretty close.
