    USB 3.0 flash drive for the car. Will it survive?

    Temperature in the Midwest USA swings by about 100 degrees from winter to summer. Sometimes more, from about -20 to 110F. That's -28C to 43C for you Centigrade folks

    Humidity varies from 20% to 90%.

    Will a flash drive sitting in the USB slot for music survive these extremes?

    My 16GB crappy MicroCenter drive has survived 5+ years so far with no issues. I live in north/central MN so it gets just as hot and probably colder here.

    My car has black interior and is always parked outside.

    There are more durability minded drives available though, the OCZ ATV series, the Corsair Survivor series, etc.
