n number of drives. 

 

n of hardware switchable read only drives for diagnostics,

n of throw away cheapo USB drives to give people data but there is a risk of long delay in return

n of fast high quality USB drives for personal/work use

n of old USB drives because some unique ancient stuff won't work with newer drives

...

I don't even know how many I actually have as they are all spread out over the place and not even in the same office/home/country/....
