I feel no fear about that since I've been using a home MC server before. For me, just a basic plugin solved everything whenever someone tried to DDoS me—it stopped it instantly.
What are your concerns about the flashdrive's durability over time with a group of ten?
Unlikely. The typical timeframe is 4 to 8 months. Most operating systems that can run continuously from USB drives only update configuration files and don’t modify the main system.
It would likely perform well for several years, though you shouldn't rely on it completely. Games like Minecraft store all required data in memory while running, which means the NAND should handle write cycles without too much strain until you stop the server or it starts saving information regularly. If using a USB 2.0 connection, you might encounter slower speeds, but a USB 3.0 device in a compatible port would be much faster. Just remember that even a reliable drive can stop working after about six months if not used properly.
