Posted by: xBen from Tucson, AZ on 03/11/2012Was thinking of buying a Flash thumb drive for software backup (where tens of GBs is enough capacity). This drive was same price as 32GB Flash thumb drive (before the flood) with 10X the capacity. Also has better performance (and likely Write endurance).

Posted by: Terp from Bethesda, MD on 01/13/2012I had been in the habit of trying to burn a DVD occasionally with new files. But 6GB on a DVD only covers so much space. This was easy to install and easy to just copy the whole of my directories onto.
