Wow! has anyone seen one of these? I really want to buy one, but it almost seems like it shouldent work. Does anyone have/had one, if so... hows it working out for you?

Save $10, newegg. It's also a trusted store.

Is anyone else worried about the future of flash memory sizes? One day you'll be able to loose 500gb of data by having a rip in your pockets.

The same thing was said when CD burners became popular. Can you imagine losing the equivelent of 500 floppy disks at once?!

[VaKo]

Yeah, but CD's weren't the size of a postage stamp...

[Guest]

if your carrying around anything that important you should have it backed up anyway.

[armadaender]

Yeah, but CD's weren't the size of a postage stamp...

But are worth considerably less, or at least were before the mp3/napster/cd-burner revolution occured. Once upon a time where one could buy 100 blank cds for three bucks.

I'm glad to say that I hav never lost any USB Flash, so I have only ever had two of them :)

[stingwray]

You should check out the SD cards that include a USB socket on them. They are hinged in the middle. Much better Idea in my mind, dual usage.

[PoyBoy]

the size isnt so amazing. They just did away with the conventional case and usb connector

[moonlit]

Meh... I don't much like this stuff... I mean I love the portability but I found how easy it was to lose a 256MB SD card a little while back... at £20 a pop plus whatever you've got stored on there it's maybe not so fun...

No but you know what is ? .....A postage stamp :D

[stingwray]

£20 will get you a 2GB one now moonlit.

But, if you need to destroy your data quickly you can always swallow them

[moonlit]

rofl... yeah you could

meh I got this one ages ago... but 2GB for £20?! where?!

[stingwray]

ok, a shade under £30, i was thinking of something else.

I've lost two pen drives, both when I came home drunk and stoned. That sucked because I had alot of comp files on there that I needed for my system.

pen drives are the future, they are so damn portable and easy to use. i love the portable apps like portable firefox, portable gaim, portable thunderbird, portable open office.

pen drives ru1z.

The flash memory it's self is also the futur. Far more reliable then any optical media, physicly much smaller. The only problem right now is that it's so damn expencive. I have no dought it will eventualy replace optical drives, I'm not so sure they will replace hard drives. I suspect that technolagy (I forget it's name) where you store data in a very special cystal (using some kind of laser setup) and store up to a terabyte of data in a cyrstal the size of a suger cube, ye, that will probably replace hard drives. At least the method sounds more reliable then a normal hard drive (big heavy metal arm swinging backwards and farwards 50 times a second).
