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 '' .

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
