I carry my late son’s school thumb drive (it is metal and has a hole for a keychain), and it has a copy of the last video I ever took of him (6 days before his death), his last school picture, and his last voicemail to me.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you have multiple backup copies of those files somewhere. The flash storage on those drives are the cheapest of the cheap and it isn't unheard of for them to go belly up suddenly.
Small metal memorystick of 256GB, with a usb-a and usb-c connector.
Can be plugged in nearly everywhere, even use it in my phone.
I carry a 2 TB Silicon Power drive on a keychain sometimes.
In addition to an encrypted partition for secure data transport, I keep a fat32 partition that can supplement phone media when I travel.
A few file formatting choices (mp3 or mp4 suffixes) mean that media playback usually works with tvs that I trust, too.
If I need more space, I can temporarily delete a few albums. No big deal.
I have a tiny Kingston microduo 3c drive on my keychain with some tech toolkit stuff. It is small and robust. Think I have had it knocking around for the last 4 years.
