Problems with USB stick?

[Karatedrifter7]

Or Swiss memory stick? or USB Port? whatever? I had been doing alot of writing on it, and saved things on it, and then it quit on me. In other words, I tried it on a few different computers, and none of them recognized it anymore. Tried rebooting, everything. Has anybody else had this happen to them?
I know I should have saved things not just on this stick. But at the time it seemed like a good alternative in case the hardware crashed.

You are the first person I have heard having problems with theirs.
I never make back ups of what I have on mine but now you have made me think twice and back it on my my pc.

I guess with all electronics, things can go bad from time to time.

They can go wrong and with memory prices as low as this i'm not surprised...
Some brands do a better job the nothers but even they can give up , if that would happen to a good brand such as kingston or sandisk they might replace it ( remember a faulty stick with kingstond and they replaced it with no trouble at all )

They are exceedingly cheap now adays. You can get a 4GB for $60 or $70 bucks. I guess that should make me a lil wary.
