What do you use your USB flash drive for?

[rohanbee]

I dont know if this is the right section to post this, but anyways here goes. I always thought that the usb was a toy nothing more but ever since i used my friends usb for some urgent transfering of some files, i have been in love with it. Now even my 512mb seems small as i keep a lot of data including pictures and movies and work realted files. This way when i go out i acn carry my data with me and now with built in usb mp3 players also becoming cheaper that will be my next buy.

I use flash drives for transfer movies, music from my friend's HDD.

Also used once to cheat in the exams, i got all the computer programs on it!

I hang it around my neck as a fashion accessory Sandisk Micro Cruizer with black+silver lanyard 8)

Just kidding, I have no use for it currently. Just lying around the house. Not long before one of my cousins flicks it or sweet talks me out of it.

My main use is taking my completed essays or lab reports to the library to print them out

But other than that I have used it for all of the mentioned options at some point or the other.

@rohanbee
i got it for 2600/- around 2 months back. i bought it from the main distributor i.e aa infoways and got it shipped directly frm delhi as there is no dealer at my place. it has a 5 year warranty also.

 

[rohanbee]

Wow that is a very good price. My Umax cost me Rs.3100/-, you got a dealer price i guess!!

I got a Sony USB Drive for Rs.799 from Bazee.com

 

[rohanbee]

Not that im saying yours is fake but if you notice Sony is the cheapest for flash drives in india and pretty expensive abroad.
Few hardware vendors i've talked to say i.e because of the tremendous amount of Fake sony drives available.
Makes you think doesn't it?
