Hello,

Would dropping a memory stick to the ground (say from 1 meter height) cause data loss?! How safe is the memory stick when it comes to data loss in general?!

Dropping a memory stick should not cause data loss of any kind. For the most part, they are quite robust - I would not be too concerned about it unless you are doing some rather extreme things to it.
