It's all relative, I never thought it was painful to pay 250 for a 512kb drive. I was the biggest swinging dick with that drive, didn't have to uninstall any game ever.

Point is the new 100 dollar drive is the 1tb and that's bigger than you need right now just like the 512kb was bigger than I needed. No pain just progress, you pay to be on the cutting edge and those that do are happy to. I never once bitched about buying new tech

Not disagreeing, but my thought was specifically about how flash drives aren't really all that common place anymore, where as when I was in university 12 years ago it was a necessity

I use them daily at work. I have 6 images mounted that I use daily and use them to transfer data in a pinch. Without flash drives my daily life at work would suck. Consumers don't really have a use for thumb drives but every device you have has flash memory in it.

I'm in IT and they are used all the time. They have m.3 flash drives even. That's what I use and they are not cheap. Lots of tech stuff need them, it's how you load shit
