A way to store all your USB Memory Sticks.


Recommended Posts

Affordable enough .

How about their usage [ in time ] ?

Which will gave me more fidelitty ?

Depends. I have a flash drive from 2005, it's 512 MB, but it still works to this day. Fingers crossed - I only have had 1 HDD failure in my entire life. I would definitely trust a flash drive more than an external HDD - simply because there are no moving parts in flash storage. If you take good care of your equipment, it will last. My use case doesn't require external HDD's anymore - I have a NAS that is accessible anywhere from the world w/ an internet connection. For temporary storage, I use my SanDisk Extreme 64GB flash drive, which will blow the pants of any external HDD's in terms of transfer speeds. It has a lifetime warranty - what external HDD offers that? In this day and age, I'd forgo anything with HDD - I'd rather have an external SSD.

Everyone has different uses for different devices - just because you personally don't see a use case for flash drives doesn't mean they are useless for the rest of humanity. 

USB sticks are obsolete now? Don't tell that to my free 200 gb stick. She's sensitive, and made me lots of money. So shhhh! (Plus, she was free)

"Hey girl, Obi talked about you behind your back!"  

 

Oh I am sorry, Obi.. I missed your "shhh" part.. 

 

My bad.

 

 

:p

Or maybe more . :laugh:

I can't get it ... Why would someone use a storage device [ I assume , with a capacity until 32 GB ] when a portable HDD has already came up with at least 10x more GB ?

My classmates are still acomplished with their 500 GB - 1 TB external HDD's ...

Why would anyone WANT to carry an external HDD, weighing 100x as much and consuming 100x more pocket space when all they want to do is transport a few files that easily fits on a thumb drive?

Hello,

 

Keychain-sized hook or peg rack on wall + box of paper keychain tags (with metal rims).  Write things like OS or application on one side of the tag in ink, and the build number, date or whatever on the other side in pencil.

 

Makes it easy to store USB flash drives and access them at a glance without having to dig around for the "right" one.

You guys take a joke too personally .

P.S : A completely functional OS + main utilitties + games and occasionally apps aren't just '' a few files '' . [ over 500 GB at least ]

P.S.S : HDDs aren't so weighful ... I could carry  it on in a workbag [ exactly like the stick's port as weight and shapes ] ....

Reread your replies to me - none of them were phrased as jokes. You came off serious. :p

Again, personal preference. I would much rather have one high capacity flash drive that is fast, and portable. Or carry multiple flash drives, because it's still way more portable compared to an external drive. Or use cloud storage. I'd use my NAS if I needed to access content (videos, pictures, etc.)

 

Also external drives come in two different flavors - ones that require power (heavy/more stuff to carry) or ones that don't require power (or power from USB), but may be slower. If you have to have an external drive, I'd definitely want USB 3 w/ SSD.

My sense of humor is...weird...

Apart from Linux/Unix discussions,all of my posts were freaking jokes...meant to be that kind of phrases which will start a more intensive rumor=in fact:'' Is he[me] a newbie or not?''...

Why do you think I've never got any of ''you're pointless'' replies as hugely serious...?

You can get USB thumb drives that are 1TB (They are currently very expensive though).

 

Most people don't need to carry around with them over 500gb of data to transfer over to another device. 128GB (Which you can pickup for like $30) is more than enough for most.

get lost troll, everybody uses usb sticks still

It depends on what that '' everyone '' must to do .

USB Thumb Drives [ Sticks ] that are 1 TB can't be afforded by everyone .

If we talk about 100 + GB data , some of us will think isn't enough .

A mate from another forum consider even 1 TB is '' not enough '' .

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
