Thanks for the link - checking it out now

We want to ship the users a USB stick which they'll then plugin during setup and it'll save a (password protected) private key to it for long-term backup along with some metadata

So the goal would be that we can read the stick if plugged in again after a year, or two or three even after it has rattled around the bottom of a drawer or cabinet somewhere

I've found that it doesn't require much in terms of minimum unit order numbers to get a custom build - but I'd like to have a source of reliability data that is independent.

I'm contemplating doing a test lab ourselves - buying a bunch of keys and putting them through their paces, as there seems to be a real gap in comprehensive testing+benchmarks here
