Would USB ports aging cause problems to data?
Do I actually need a plastic protective cab to cover the USB ports when they are not used for a very long time?
I have a few USB cables that haven't been used for years and I find that the metal part of them is oxidized and some brown stuff appears, likely to be rust. Just wondering if data corruption or other kinds of errors is more likely to happen when data is transferred with such cables?
