USB drives have a strong tendency to be come corrupt in my experience - is that because I'm dealing with cheap drives or because somehow things aren't being dismounted properly?
the answer is both.
Cheap drives are not a good option for a live os. or for storing important stuff. I use the cheap drives to transfer large amount of data to PCs that are not connected to the internet and i got 2 good drives that i keep my stuff on them (encoded)
and if you dont dismount it proparly then you will get a corrupted drive for sure(sooner or later). if you are in a hurry atleast wait until any reading/writing to the partition is finalized.
