I use USB flash drives and 480 GB SanDisk portable drives for some backups. I started by using ext4 on one of the flash drives. The next day I tried to boot the computer, but found that the computer hung. Only at this point did I find out that those drives are not capable of journalling. So I either had to use ext4 with the journalling feature disabled or revert to ext2 for these drives. I chose the latter, as simpler and less susceptible to errors. I have had no trouble with them since.
