Portable Storage Has Never Been Cheaper

by on Mar 6, 2008 | 2 comments

If you’ve got an old 512MB (or less) USB flash drive (pen drive, thumb drive, whatever) hanging around, it’s time to ditch it.

Why?

Because 1GB flash drives are seven bucks. I kid you not. Put down some pennies and grab one. I’d get two.

Want some extra storage? How does 4GB sound? Good? Yep. How much? 22 bucks.

It’s almost (but not quite) getting to the point where you don’t have to buy burnable DVDs to back up your data any longer.

Chances are we’ll be seeing 4GB and higher USB flash drives drop below the five-dollar mark in less than 2 years.
