Re: Two use cases

That's fine, but you're likely to destroy a rather large quantity of USB disks. I might suggest using DVDs as much as possible. Not only would they be much cheaper to use even if you destroy them, but you would be rather certain that nobody has modified their contents, which you could encrypt rather easily. Of course, that doesn't help if you need more than 4.3 gb of space, but perhaps sometimes. I've considered using read-only USB devices under some of these circumstances, if only to prevent overuse of hammers.
