So I’m adding external storage to a Fire Stick and I’m wondering what will last longer, a USB stick or a micro sd card in a USB adapter?

The firestick will likely use the external storage for a few hours everyday so it will need to last as long as my grandmother does.

Second question, how long should I expect these to last assuming I buy quality?

    It depends on what USB stick and what SD card.

    A high quality “Extreme Endurance” SD card can be expected to last much longer than a random USB stick.

    A decent quality SSD, in a USB stick shape, might be even better.

    I like SanDisk Extreme Pro Solid State USB sticks. Somewhere in between. Perhaps.
