Cupe Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 So I'm seeing these 32, 64 and even 128 gig USB sticksHas anyone ever bought one of this size?Are they good?If they end up good I might sell a whole bunch through the ADJF website for good prices. Great idea to back up your music and gear on..And if the 128 gig ones are good, that's a whole hell of a lot of space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skank Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 thats the only thing stopping me from buying a terrabyte HD is the amount of people telling me how often they crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 1tb drives aren't that expensive compared to what you are backing up on them. 1tb of movies, let alone music, has to be worth less than $200 to backup up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi gentlemenI have a 32 gig memory stick on my key ringHave had it for about 2 years I have about 5000 songs on it and all my personal files and its only a little over half full.It works a treat especially when my laptop was corrupted by a virus recently and had to be wiped and repaired Easy back up. The cap has been lost about 20 times and is getting a bit loose. I had to supa glue the end attached to my keyring and the top as wellBeen given a hammering as its always in my pocketLove it, Its almost like Paul Hogan in Croc DundeeWhen I bring it out and say "Thats not a memory stick (their 2Gig stick) This is a memory stick".Fab DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabDJ Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Have back up everywhere 4 computers in 3 buildings Back up every month, so I feel OK.Bought it at some bomb site industrial estate behind shit creek (Sunshine) from a computer warehouse that advertise in the Age green guide.Wont buy any bigger as they fall apart after time and will destruct before you fill them up.

FabDJ Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 With memory sticks the clips tend to break off the connections to your key ring.Drilled a hole in one and used it for ages with a key ring.Tried again last night and totally rooted another one.another 100 dollars down the drain.

DjDennis Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Fab the new SSD ones, are also SATA as well, and USB (a) I think depends on the brandbut to use one in a laptop it still fits nicethe usb type above is like an external case type hard drivebest look at the ebay link at the one I bought for a client yesterdayeventually all laptops should have them...eg: image shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck_Choi Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I pretty sure they won't but you said you can getssd's as internal and/or external would the externals run at same speed as internal which is at ram speed? What is USB 2.0 clocked at?Mm can't wait for fibre and ssd's to be standard but there's always something new coming out ... :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabDJ Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 fat32 there it is again. some of my stuff says cant work cause of this fat32. Thought it was a corrupted image from a porn site I must have downloaded.WTF is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 A 32-bit version of the File Allocation Table which first shipped with Windows95 SR2. FAT32 uses 32 bits to address each cluster and can support drives as big as two Terabytes. The older FAT used 16-bits to address each cluster and was limited to drive sizes of 512 Mb. Each cluster in a FAT32 system is only 4 Kb which also helps to save space on your hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
