It still has benefits. Solid state (chips) storage is NOT long lasting...1 year tops is the best estimate I've heard. But at this point, the loss may be so small as to not be discernable.
In other words, if you copy data to a data storage device made with solid state chip storage, and then it is not connected to external power, electricity, for a year, some of the data will begin to 'fade' or degrade. Within three years, it is estimated that chip storage, like a FOB, will loose a significant amount of data and become possibly unreadable.
