Description
This was originally made for my personal offline art folder/HTML database.Β For the past 12 years, I've more or less used USB flash drives as my primary portable media for my art projects.Also, in a few months flash drive prices should be dropping in price if the trend over the last few years continue.Β Then it will be time for my yearly data migration, this time to a 128GB or 256GB flash drive.

Cerebro, that I like! I haven't named flash drives, but all of my routers have Batman names.

I have a 16GB version of this USB flash drive, it's the EXACT same one! Β Talk about cool!

Ditto, it comes in handy for random files and video.

I used to put old banjo-kazooie hacking files on it a year or so ago. Β The project got cancelled, but it was fun while it lasted.

Sounds like fun.Β I was working on a Super Wacky World ROM hack ages ago and got too distracted to make much progress on it.

Oh my gosh I have a totally old one that I still use for school.Β

SanDisk drives are my favorite! I don't think that I would ever buy another brand.
My laptop has USB 3.0, so I able to take full advantage of the speed of my SanDisk USB 3.0 64 GB flash drive. It's extremely fast hooked up to my USB 3.0 Anker USB hub. Here's the flash drive: www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZPUOUI/.
I bought it for $59.95. It now sells for $34.85.
With this flash drive, I can back up my data in a mere matter of minutes. I guess that's why it's called "SanDisk Extreme."
Anyway, I love your animation!

SanDisk is one of my favorite brands as well.Β And nice find you've got there.Β I only have a couple USB 3.0 flash drives and they are those controversial Lexar releases that had older memory (as in it was maxed out at the highest USB 2.0 speed even when used on a USB 3.0 port).

Oh look, I just happen to have a 32GB SanDisk Cruzer Glide sitting right here on my desk.

Will coincidences never cease?Β *deactivates spy camera*

I'd be more concerned if it weren't for the fact that the Cruzer Glide is probably the most common flash drive you'll find on the market.

Yep, the price/performance is hard to beat.Β On occasion I do also pick up EMC, Kingston and PNY flash drives when they go on sale.

Which is pretty much every flash drive my store carries.

Same for my local Office Depot.Β Strange, there used to be tuns of brands about a decade ago.

Yeah, remember Lexar? They had some of the coolest looking chrome plated flash drives.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep.Β I still have a few Lexar drives lying around.

I have one, but it no longer functions.

Yeah, but I deal with these things so often since I work in PC repair. They get used and abused.
π: 0 β©: 1
They must be really rough on their things.Β

Well, it's kinda hard to be gentle on your stuff when you have a lot of computers to work on.
π: 0 β©: 1
True.Β I finally saw my uncle's PC setup yesterday.Β He surprisingly keeps his even more dust, ding and scratch free than I do.Β But when I look at my cousin's... it's a mangled mess of a machine that still functions for some odd reason.
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of the machines I work on tend to be the latter.

Trust me on on this, you'll see a lot more mangled mess machines working in computer repair.
Just FYI, it's a career I'm already in.

Is it a tiring job?Β I usually don't work on more than a few machines any stretch of the week.Β

Oh yeah, sorry...
To answer your question there, it can get a bit tiring on some occasions. Some days you may have very little going on. Other days it seems like the world can't survive without you.

Please don't bite my head off for this...
I work for Geek Squad.

That's not bad. Though I'd be concerned if your job was at Apple's Genius Bar. That title implies a lot and might trigger random questions from weird people.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm hesitant to admit that. It's a good job, and we do a lot of good work. But I feel like some people around here may have the wrong opinion about us and they maybe quick to judge my opinion because of it.

I have one in 32gb, though these days its nothing compared to the 128gb I've seen
π: 0 β©: 1
As do I.Β So far I've got this same glide variation in 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64GB.Β I'll probably have 128 and 156GB soon.
π: 0 β©: 1
There's a 156GB?!
π: 0 β©: 1
π: 0 β©: 1
256 GB?!
*faints*
