Data Base - Storage Device Type

hi,

I need to make a database storage ( 20GB ) place using FatFs So,  stored data's  will be retained from the storage place and stored data's  will come to display when necessary .

1. Full Speed USB Flash Drive as Storage - Decent Speed but most of the USB Flash Drive are getting Hot for long time in PC . I didn't tested hotness of USB Flash Drive plugged with stm32 for 24 hours . it's really worth consider the USB Flash Drive as Storage based on the failure circumstance .in case if i choose the USB HDD based SSD or NVMe as Storage  then Size too big and cost . There is any rugged USB Flash Drive ?.

2. SD Card as Storage -   SD card life is unpredictable  .

3. eMMC as Storage (i don't have  Experience using eMMC)  - will stm32 mcu  support in eMMC 4 bit mode as sd card using FatFs ? and Not interest for 8 bit mode eMMC since many works involved  for using FatFs or little FatFs.

who will be runner up for speed and life of storage device ?   with following combination.

stm32 + USB Flash Drive ( Pendrive ) .

stm32 + USB HDD based on SSD or NVMe as Storage .

stm32 + eMMC ( 4bit Mode SD Card Mode  ) .

Please share your technical tips and suggestion .

Are you sure that's due to the drive itself? Could well be heating from the PC ...

Is it?  I don't think that SD-Cards are inherently any more nor less "reliable" than comparable USB sticks?

What, exactly, do you mean by "rugged" ?
