I have a 'workhorse' Pi at the centre of my home network (email, DHCP,
NTP, etc) and found that even a thumb drive suffered after continuous
use. I bought a 60 GB SSD (Solid State Drive) and it's been working now
for more than a year.
Neither SDs nor thumb drives have the automatic redistribution logic of
SSDs, so using them to write data that is being repeatedly altered (like
log files and email folders) can really impact them. Thumb drives do
seem to survive better than SDs, but SSDs are much better still.

Reminds me of when I first used JNOS on the RPi. Had to replace SD card a couple of
times. Then decided to put jnos on thumb drive so all logs and jnos writing activities go
to thumb drive media instead of SD. Has worked well ever since.
