Media storage devices and files sizes have changed drastically over the past few years. So I finally bit the bullet a month or so ago and replaced my antique 512 MB USB flash drive. It’s eight years old and still works, but its capacity is the pits!
So I hopped on B&H Photo, my favorite online shop for photography and electronics, and searched for a new flash drive. (See sidebar for a link.) Low and behold, I found an adorable one, made to look like a small Swiss Army knife!

I was smitten.
The flash drive is made by SanDisk, which I know is a reliable brand. It will probably outlast me, LOL!

I opted to get a 32 GB model in a hot pink color. Ha-cha-cha-cha!
It doesn’t take much to amuse me…
Ha Ha That's great Donna . Very cool too!
ReplyDeletevery cute. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's funny! You are easily amused. It is a cool flash drive though.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! I use one and at the end of every month, I back up all of my photos on mine. It definitely gives you peace of mind! Yours is cute! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you want a flash drive for? We have external drives for our back-ups but they are not flash drives. Ours are huge --and hold all of our stuff... Maybe you just wanted something smaller.... I can see how they would help when traveling... And I know that they would be convenient. So--maybe I answered my own question.

It makes it easier to transfer files between DH’s and my computer, and also our laptop (which we use for travel). It is particularly helpful when I need DH to print enlargements of my photos on his big photo printer. The files are too big to send by e-mail.
DeleteI have one of these gizmos (not as spiffy as yours) and I have yet to figure out what I can do with it.
DeleteIf you have to have something, why not make it pretty! Love the pink swiss army knife look!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a pink flash drive! Fun! It's the little things, you know...
ReplyDeleteI have an external hard drive but have been thinking about getting a flash drive. My external is pretty old and I worry about something going wrong with it and losing everything.
ReplyDeleteI like your new hot pink accessory Donna. I use several, one for gardening photos, another for my columns, one for PowerPoint presentations and finally one for family photos.

Woot Woot! Love the color, and I have always loved everything by SanDisk. Great choice, missy.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! Somehow I missed this post in all the happenings with us but I think I'd better get one, too. I have several older flash drives and they always frustrate me. And I have things on an older external hard drive. This is the year to FINALLY organize my photos - and the rest of my life. Maybe! Thanks for the inspiration.
