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.

 

Regards,

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 '' .

    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
