USB Drives, Flash Drives, Thumb Drives, Whatever You Call It, Get One!!

I don’t want to mention names, but there is someone at my office who is still using a floppy drive. I honestly didn’t know that they existed anymore. I told her to take that stack of floppy disks and put the huge stack of annoying, unreliable and piece of junk floppies on one little Portable Drive. People just can’t continue to use floppies. They are horrible and just cause problems. The only reasonable reason to use a floppy anymore is for a boot disk. I do have this nice floppy disk that will wipe out a hard drive. Honestly, it’s kind of a scary disk to have. Otherwise, get rid of them.

Do you realize that on one Portable Drive you could store 120 GB of data on one little device. That’s roughly 50,000 times more space. There are a ton of other features on a Portable Drive, but space and reliability is the most important. Add in a one touch backup of your hard drive and you have your whole computer backed up.
