[atlas] USB drive more harmful than helpful?

It doesn't help, when we're talking about Atlas probes. I have one probe, where external flash died twice, even it's placed in datacenter with UPS-protected power.

Stable power, as from a UPS, also isolates the probe from power glitches which may cause rebooting of the probe, thus adding to the write count. Not to mention corruption from power failure during writes.

Opinion:  If the device/system/operation is at all important, use of a UPS is effectively mandatory.
