Uses for spare SD cards, USB sticks, microSD cards, etc.?

[YeshYyyK]

I used to have 4 SD cards for each OS I wanted on my Raspberry Pi, but I've been able to get them all in one, so now I have a few spares, as well as a few USB sticks lying around.

 

What could I do with them?

I usually just wipe them and give them to kids I teach when they need to move files. Keep some music on them for the car, throw them in your camera bag or something.

If you have to deal with troubleshooting/fixing a lot of computers, I'd make a Hiren's bootCD out of one USB stick and a Ultimate BootCD out of another. Maybe a live linux stick, Windows installation sticks and so on. I personally carry around five sticks. One for HBCD, one large and fast one for backing up some data and storing my scripts for it, and three for Win7, Win8.1 and Win10 installations.

 

This is sticks though. While it's most often possible to boot a PC from an SD card, you can't really trust for just any PC to have the reader.

I use my spare usb and sd cards to either have portable testprograms and troubleshooting software at hand, also one is encripted and stores all my passwords

Depends. It would be cool if you made a RAID with the USB's.

you could with windows storage spaces, you could also pool then with your drives to expand your storage if you so wish.
