I was just reading about flash drives vs external hard drives, & the article was saying flash drives have a limit on the number of write/rewrite cycles.
Should I move my installation from a flash drive to an external HD?
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

I would say definitely yes.
and thank you for making me look into this. heh.
Looks like it's safe to bet on them failing after about 3 years. I've got C2 installed on a dedicated flash drive with a TON of game projects....it will will probably fail within 2 years, the way I constantly tweak my games.
Upload that stuff somewhere! Cloud is where it's at.
Wait....what? Can you install C2 to the cloud??
The projecrs can be on the cloud, and you can always grab a release of C2 via the website or the torrent, and your license should be accesible from the scirra website too.
