Greetings from Wonderful Wyoming,
Angel, Peter is correct about flash drives. Generally digital media is not necessarily a good long term solution to preservation. The best you can do is store the media in a humidity and temperature controlled environment, quality check the media every year or two, plan to migrate to new media and applications every five to ten years, and pray that you have not lost the stored information.
Just my thoughts,
