Unlike pressed original CDs, burned CDs have a relatively short life span of between two to five years, depending on the quality of the CD," Gerecke said in an interview this week. "There are a few things you can do to extend the life of a burned CD, like keeping the disc in a cool, dark space, but not a whole lot more." http://www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/storage/story/0,10801,107607,00.html

Bingo. While a USB drive would be better then nothing, they suffer from a write limit, that is they can only take so many cycles of being written to.

I would use a archive quality CD personally.
