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?

    All removable media is impermanent. Keep backups.

    But realistically, if it is never unplugged and only used read-only as a media source, it’s unlikely either will fail in a couple years at least (probably longer). If it fails, just buy another to replace it.
