I want to save the file for my offline passwords extracted from KeePassXC and put it onto a USB flash driver with a small storage size because it doesn’t need the extra storage since there’s only 1 file and it’s not going to be that big. I was going to encrypt the USB flash drive with Veracrypt but when researching this topic I realized from a Reddit comment that USB flash drives could fail and make it so my passwords can’t be retrieved or accessed. I then found out about how I could replace the USB with a M.2 NVME SSD with an enclosure to protect it and an adapter for easy access when I want to open the file. All after encrypting the NVME storage device with Veracrypt.

My question is, should I go with a USB or M.2 NVME. And if either of those, which brand or model (with a relatively small storage size)

Extra:

I plan on using Bitwarden as my primary password manager and making backup exports to keepassxc. I also plan to move the keepassxc passwords into the external storage device, encrypt it, and leave it in a fireproof folder within a safe. I also plan to write all the primary risk passwords on paper and put it in the fireproof folder as well.
