When connecting and disconnecting the USB drive plug from the USB socket, the danger is not wearing out the connectors. The weakest point is the solder connections between the stick and its plug. If you break the solder connections due to stress on the little thing, not only are you out your drive, there goes your data.
You might want to disconnect the drive from the computer to avoid the possibility of zapping the drive when the computer gets zapped.
So connect the flash drive semi-permanently to the short cable and use the cable to make and break the connection to the computer.
