So I’m adding external storage to a Fire Stick and I’m wondering what will last longer, a USB stick or a micro sd card in a USB adapter?

The firestick will likely use the external storage for a few hours everyday so it will need to last as long as my grandmother does.

Second question, how long should I expect these to last assuming I buy quality?

    Neither. I had photos (long since transferred) taken onto an SD card. I recently looked at them after a couple of years to find many of them corrupt. Same for unused usb drives. You need to mount them periodically.
