I have a few Sandisk USB sticks. They should be OK. At least one of them should be ready even if there is a fire and my fire safe is put to the test. One thing about the m.2, it is different. In a worst case situation, it may prove very worthwhile to have. Keep in mind, I put little stuff like this in fire bags inside the safe. I've read where it can provide more protection than just the fire safe itself. I just wish I had one for the 5 hard drive cage. That thing is a little large. LOL Thing is, the USB sticks are hanging on hooks inside the fire safe door. I need to put them in a pouch with other stuff as well. Dale :-) :-)
