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 '' .

    • MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.
    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
