National Flash Drive Day 2022
 |
I have owned a quite a collection of them since their incept c 1994 — and probably will even though the new replacement technology called resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is far superior from a standpoint of speed and service life.
I typically use flash drives with USB3 circuitry in the quarter terrabyte range. I also like to give them as gifts to my girl friend and others whom I deem worthy.
Today is National Flash Drive Day which corresponds to the date their patent application was filed in the United States.
I have a number of them hanging above my workstation from the mounted deer antlers my daddy bagged in Blackfoot, Idaho when I was in the first grade.
I have an old 2 gigabyte Sandisk Titanium which I passed off to my beloved late stepfather and reacquired after his passing. I left his files on it.
I also maintain two of them installed as backup storage space on my workstation. I keep all of my photoshop files by and large on one of them along with various documents and install binaries. The other is the machine backup I maintain for my personal application requirements.
