Am I the only one who pretty much never uses flash drives anymore? Dropbox bro.

 

The only time I use them is for installing windows.

i saw this the other day while browsing for a new flash drive, had no clue it was new.

The only thing I like about it over most other corsair drives, is that the carry handle/keyring mount is integrated and/or made of metal, other than that, i was unimpressed.

All-too-often, I lose my drives because the mounting point failed.

I still frequently use USB drives as I interface with systems that do not connect to the internet on a regular basis, as well as not having a download time for those that do.

I find flashdrives to be more convenient for traveling. I've never really used a cloud service personally, but then again I'm not really working in IT at the moment.

I work in engineering. In IT where you are constantly working on different PC's I could see the advantage to just having a flash drive on you with whatever you need.

At first it looked like it had a reversible USB 3.0 connector but I was wrong. It's just that the bottom part is colored black for some reason.

I don't really think this deserves a thread. It's just a small USB memory stick. Like 10 of them are announced every single day.

says nothing about read / write speeds.. based on price and somewhat size (faster usb drives tend to be a little bigger), imma guess its pretty slow...

Read speed is 120 and write is 80 on the one I bought a week ago, the 4k is bad though, it was below 10 if I remember correctly.

I don't like those type of USB's without any plastic cover or just plane bare metal on the handle because it always ground me whenever I put it on my USB ports...

The cloud would be a nice option but ISPs and their data caps limit their usefulness.

I have 3 flash drives on me at all times, my 2GB, 8 GB and my 64GB Corsair Voyager GO :P

They come in really handy xD

Is that in Mbps or MB/s ?

I carry a flash drive with me at all times with basic software, malware tools, driverpacks, windows 7 and the misc. Another one on my key ring that's tiny that just has Hirens boot disk. Corsair are my go to drives.

they just look like a knock off of the sandisk cruzer force which has a steel casing - I've been using them for acouple of years now

http://www.sandisk.com.au/products/usb/drives/cruzer-force/

 

this design is very good though its great to have on your keys since they wont die like normal ones

Its all about those volumetric clouds

This. I haven't seen a good usb drive keyring thingy in a long time. They are mostly made of plastic and too small for my keyring to fit in.

Clearly not worth the recommended retail price - no tramp stamp.

I'm not so sure about these premium flash drives. USB drives cop so much abuse, have very short life spans (mine usually last about 6 months - 1 year) so now I've resorted to buying bulk packs of no name 8GB drives for $5 at the local officeworks and just swap them out every 6 months.

I have a cheap Sandisk 8GB drive, it's over 2 years old and it still works fine.
