Reddit reviews Kingston Digital DataTraveler SE9 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (DTSE9H/32GBZET)

Or use a password manager (I like Keepass over cloud solutions so I can control it).

Plop it on a thumb drive, stick the thumb drive on your key ring (this Kingston model is perfect for me), and blam. You can have ultra secure passwords that you can easily access.

The only really problems to this solution that I've found over years of doing it are that:

1. You should keep a backup of your thumb drive in case it becomes damaged or lost. You should be doing this anyway.... Here's a good xcopy command for Windows command line which will quickly do this: xcopy THUMBDRIVELETTER:\ HARDDRIVELETTER:\usbbackup /E /C /Q /Y Or you could just copy and paste.
   
2. If you're switching between OSs (I use Windows at home and Mac at work) then research the compatibility.
   
   Otherwise it's a lovely solution for me.
   
   I avoid cloud solutions like LastPass because I don't like my info living on the cloud where ne'er do wells can hack it. And avoid using dropbox to sync this program for the same reason.
   
   The likelihood that the person who finds my lost thumb drive is interested in cracking my password database is slim to zero. If you really wanted higher security then place the program on a TrueCrypt volume on the thumb drive.

The Q-Pid bars look a lot like this USB drive:

They come in different sizes, I have this USB flash drive as well as my keys in mine.

I've had 5 of these on a keychain in my pocket for about two years now and they're still working great.

Oooh, this is a fun challenge.

• Knife: Spyderco Dragonfly 2 : $49
  
  This is the most expensive item on my list, but I figure that with knives this is the best small EDC knife you can get for the money. I'm not a fan of large knives for daily carry, and the Dragonfly gets the job done.
  
  
• Watch: Casio Men's Sport Analog Dive Watch : $17
  
  While I initial thought was the F-91W, this watch seems to have far better water-resistance for roughly $7 more. Plus I prefer analog watches.
  
  
• Wallet: Magpul Industries Daka Polymer Wallet : $17
  
  While I've never used one of these personally, why not take the loss of all my stuff as an excuse to pare down how much bullshit I carry in my wallet? Reviews (outside of Amazon) seem pretty good and I'd love to give this thing a shot.
  
  
• Multitool: Atwood Prybaby Chinese Knockoff : $3
  
  I like having one of these kinds of dumb little multitools handy for prying and bottle-opening and other random tasks that I wouldn't want to abuse my knife with. At only $3 it's worth the space in my budget and my keychain. Speaking of keychains...
  
  
• Keychain: Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable Keychain : $2
  
  If you're like me, you often have to add and remove keys and other items from your keychain. Wire/cable keychains are the friggin best for this. I generally prefer the ball-and-socket types rather than the kind that screw closed, but I'm counting my dollars here.
  
  
• Writing Utensil: Pilot G2 0.5mm (12-Pieces) : $10.75 per 12, ~$1 per ea.
  
  I can't stand pens that use caps, and nothing writes as well for me as the Pilot G2. 0.5mm is about as fine a line as I want to get because the 0.38mm ones tend to get a bit scratchy on most paper. And if you'll allow me to count the cost as only a dollar rather than the price of a twelve-pack...
  
  
• Bonus Round: Kingston Digital 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive : $9
  
  With a few extra buck open in the budget, I realized that I've had one of these on my keychain for about as long as I can remember, and it pays to have one handy with a copy of your choice of documents, music, and other media. Super handy to keep available at all times.

  My total price for these tools puts me at $98, assuming the cost of only one pen. I assumed that I would be able to keep my phone, which provides me with enough illumination that I've never bothered with carrying a dedicated flashlight outside of the colder months when I'm usually wearing a coat. So I didn't bother with choosing one for this challenge. Anyone have any good suggestions for AAA, clicky tail-button flashlights under $20?

Guess how many orders of magnitude it is cheaper for Apple? Upgrading the flash storage minimum to 32gb costs about as much as printing a few more pages in the manual. They do it to force you to pay $100 for 64gb (which also costs them pennies.)

I have their 2.0 drive Kingston Digital DataTraveler SE9 16GB USB 2.0 | $8.95 Prime | Amazon and I have to say I like it. Its solid and very small. Made of metal and durable. That being said its a little on the slow side. I'll probably look getting the 3.0 version.

Harken 29 mm Carbo Ti-Lite AirBlock 330lbs

I recently bought one of these, and it is super small. As you can see the body is barely wider than the usb port itself, and nothing is protruding.

Also, its super cheap if you only need usb 2.0. $12 for 32gb. Its also a #1 seller on Amazon.

Are they dog tags? They look like USB drives.

EDIT:
Here is a link to a similar style of USB drive. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-DataTraveler-DTSE9H-32GBZET/dp/B00DYQYJ0E/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466295519&sr=1-8&keywords=flash+drive

The size of them their shape closely resemble USB drives to me.

this is one of the best key-chain USB drives I've found. All metal, nothing to break.

I haven't paid to cut my hair in over 15 years. All I need is a decent set of clippers and these:

I check how the back looks by taking pictures in a mirror or having a friend do the final trim in the back with a razor.

I have a flash drive on my keys that has come in handy many, many times.

I love that design, but the reviews say it's hit or miss. :/ That's too bad because it looks a lot nicer than the Kingston I have, but I think I will keep it since it's been bulletproof for years now.

You'd be surprised at how inexpensive a lot of USB's are. I have around 7 of these guys laying around. For the price and storage capactiy it's a nice middle ground but I get ya.

I would say for now this works though, but in the future you can work up to the 3-2-1 rule and you'd be fine. Honestly most times you will use your first backup and it will work but with viruses and the sort nowadays it's easy for a lot of images to get corrupted which sucks!

I don't trust Google. As for portability, you can fit a lot of text on a USB flash drive.

I really want Kingston to release a 3.0 drive in the metal case they used for one of their 2.0 drives. I'd hate myself if I bought a 3.0 drive and then a week later they released that.

My EDC for work:

Fenix TK22

Snap Keeper with key loop (Different model, same idea)

Black Oxide SOG Power Assist

Kingston Digital DataTraveler 32gb

Leatherman Style CS

DeWalt Folding Utility Knife

Galaxy S5 (not pictured)

TakTik Case for Galaxy S5 (china knockoff)

Black Sharpie

Rose V2 by Eden Mods on a Revolver by Vapershock

Casio G-Shock GA110GB-A1

Nautica Wallet

I would just download the ISO. It's less than 8GB. Amazon has cheap flashdrives.

Kingston Digital DataTraveler SE9 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive, Silver (DTSE9H/32GBZET) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYQYJ0E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_e0jtzb031KN2P

I've had one of these on my work keychain for at least 5 years. Works great.

I actually loaded Melee on one of these Kingston drives and it works ok.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYQYJ0E

I used the 32 gig because I use it as a windows loader and for other games too, but an 8 gig would work just fine for only melee.

When I first saw them I was thinking to myself "why the hell is Norman Reedus wearing the same USB drives I buy around his neck".

Kingston Data Traveler, by the way. Well, the old model. The new model looks a bit different, but the ones I have look like smaller versions of his 'dog tags'.

Here's an image: http://i.imgur.com/2nca7dH.jpg

They still sell the older models too:

(for some reason they look a bit gold on Amazon but I think they just got the pictures mixed up)

If you want a minimalistic flash drive, check out the Kingston 32GB

I get that too. Not sure what the issue is though.
Edit: this is the usb drive I'm using.

I'm pretty sure as long as you let them dry out water won't hurt flash drives too bad. I know I've sent mind through the wash on more than one occasion and it still works just fine. Just get one that's more "open" and doesn't have everything enclosed in a plastic case that will let water in and trap it there if you're really worried about it. Just getting caught in the rain pretty much anything should be fine though.

This is the one I've sent through the wash on at least two occasions. I've since replaced it with one of these because the case and keychain part didn't hold up well being in my pocket although the drive itself is still perfectly fine.
