Yep, I found a 256GB thumb drive for $55 and now I’m Sentry’ing all the time (except in my garage).

I have a little pouch that holds a bunch of flash drives, 1TB ext. HDD and a 512GB ext. SSD. For the flash drives I have a retail Win10 USB that has the original build on it, 8GB, 16GB, a 128GB 3.1 gen2 USB SSD and 2x 32GB 3.0 drives.

The 8GB has the most up to date Win10 install for both x64 and x32, but also is used when another iso is needed to be burned and used, more on this later.

The 16GB holds very commonly installed programs that grab the latest version during install anyway. Ninite for all the runtimes like java, flash, shockwave, acrobat etc. Chrome, Firefox, iTunes, VLC, and other common goodies. I also use chocolatey in some specific cases.

Both 32GB have Windows PE with many tools that do everything from virus removal and windows repair to disk cloning, partition management, password stripping, etc. Check out Hiren's Boot CD revived into a bootable PE, this has all the tools I use and more, I will be switching to this soon. Inside the flash is a folder with my custom scripts and other tools that are meant to be ran inside the OS. This allows for the drive to either be booted from, or plugged into a PC and used as a normal flash drive for holding my own custom tools, more on those later.

Finally, the 128GB is a SanDisk Pro Extreme (Amazon): it has Arch Linux installed with persistence, not to be confused with live booting. I chose this flash drive because it is super fast and is actually like an SSD and not a flash drive, because it has an intelligent memory controller unlike regular USB drives making it usable as an actual system drive.

The 1TB ext. HDD is used for large client backups. Once the backup is complete, depending on what the client wants, the drive is either formatted (also zeroed out securely if client requests) on-site after data has been verified and transferred the way they want, or brought back to my office and put on a machine that has a compartmentalized file structure running on a RAID6. This system is completely airgapped.

Lastly, the 512GB WD Passport which is relatively new to my collection. It is an external rugged SSD using the Type-C interface. It has a compressed *.iso image of the Windows PE drives I use, a duplicate copy of all the installers mentioned before, and a folder full of retail isos. I have the original (legitimate) installer .iso for Win7 Home, Pro, and Ultimate, Win8.1, and Win10. Also all the MS Office installers dating back to 2007. This drive is only brought out if I need it and serves as a backup in case one of my drives gets corrupt and needs to be re-flashed or if a client has the product key for an old version of office and is really adamant about not upgrading to 365. Also if I need to reinstall Win7, Win8.1 or boot off of some weird linux distro I take the iso from here and burn it to the 8GB drive mentioned earlier.

​

As for my custom scripts, I have created a TON over the years. I would be happy to start up a github and put them up there with some documentation if people would be interested! Some that I can name off the top of my head are:

-A robocopy batch file that automatically copies the entire Users, Program Files, and Program data on the specified drive. This script is meant to be run from the target drive, such as the 1TB I mentioned earlier. With this script I can plug in the drive, double click the batch file and let it do its thing. This will automatically copy all the important user and program data to the drive from which it was ran, in this case the 1TB

-A script that pulls the computers info and spits it out to a text file named via variables "User-SerialNumber"

-A script that generates a list of all installed programs via a WMIC command. Useful before a Restore/Refresh

-A script that changes power settings to high performance and disables Windows Telemetry.

-A script for repairing OS corruption. DISM, SFC, then CHKDSK, Netsock, netsh, ipconfig /release|/renew|/flushdns etc.

-A script that asks for the workstation's name, then generates a text file containing the computer info and emails it to me so I can later inventory it for that specific client in order to keep track of the device which is associated with a particular help desk ticket or issue.

​

There are plenty others, but I just woke up and haven't had coffee yet lol. Let me know if anyone is interested, maybe I can throw together a github for it. Would be a fun little side project.

edit:



I have gotten a few scripts documented and uploaded, have a look!

Amazon is also selling it for $26.50 new or 23.32 used through Amazon Warehouse: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPK3XWW/

I bought the last generation of this drive and have been completely impressed with it. It does get a little hot though if you're writing to it a lot. I needed a bigger drive though and noticed that it was on sale, so enjoy!

Looking for people to stand by the road to hold closing signs.

The Shopko in my town closed about a week ago and it was a wild ride of a shit-show. They hired a company to assist them in the closure, and the first thing that they did was jack up all of the prices. On much of the merchandise, you could see the original price under the cheap-ass tags that they used. For instance, they had all computer memory (CD's, flash drives, etc.) 50% off, but the 128gb SanDisk flash drive they had had a pre-sale price of $79.99. Post-sale, I would pay $40, but I can get the same drive on Amazon for half that.

There are USB devices in the form of a dog that when plugged in, will just start humping on its mount. Don't know what it costs or where to get it, i saw my friend had one of them some time ago and thought to myself: That is pretty useless but funny nonetheless.

EDIT: Looks like this. Just google useless USB devices.

Amazon link. 20$.

Yep, I have had one on my keychain for four years, and it still looks in pretty good shape, and works perfectly. Here it is

The only reason I would upgrade at this point would be to get the newer model which is USB 3.0 (10x faster read/write). But for oddball installers/tools/and work related files it comes in really handy.

Found it.

$2 more and you get a much smaller size and twice the storage space.

I prefer USB-C.

I have the below Sandisk Ultra, works on my MBP and iPad Pro without issue. And if I use a Lighting to USB adapter works on my iPhone.

Please be careful of temperature tolerances. I bring this up every time someone posts a drive suggestion thread so I'll paste in my usual response:

Be careful with the temperature tolerances of the drives you use if you live in a market with seasons. I looked at the T5 but nyxed it when I saw it's only rated for 5-35 degrees C (41-95F). In Chicago we regularly get well above and below those temps in a car. Cabin overheat won't even kick in yet at 95.
I switched to the Samsung Fit Plus 256gb when I went through 2 other drives last year (polar vortex and one of the drives being a T5) and hazarded a guess that it was too cold and killing the drives. -25°C to 85°C operating limits on this drive (-13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). No issues since. Drive capacity is less but now with the self erasing in v10 I don't have to pop it out and erase once a month. Muuuuuch better temp tolerances and physically much smaller drive is nice as it isn't hanging from a cable in the front compartment.

These are tiny USB ASIC miners called Block Erupters, circa 2013-14.

https://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

There was a time, maybe half a year, when it was profitable to mine with the 330 megahashes per second that these things could add to your laptop. For comparison, a top-of-the-line Graphics card at the time did about 500 Mh/S, but sucked a ton more electricity out of your wall, and caused a lot more heat, too.

By 2015 these were useless, producing just a few satoshi per day of running the laptop, and are now nice collectors items. I can't even fathom how many days it would take now to mine a satoshi with one.

Or if you want the 128GB version, it's $28

And it has moving parts... which is kinda the whole thing we're trying to get away from. I guess you could just take the cap off, but why create waste?

These are a good alternative if the Patriot ones are too spendy.

You could also get something like this for convenience.

Found it strange how some people are saying USB-C drives are "expensive". Yes, please tell me more about how a 128gig drive which costs less than forty bucks is "almost as expensive as a CFast card"!

And heck, if you're just doing a basic shot on a tripod that is running for ages (say a locked off shot at an event) you could get a FOUR TERABYTE harddrive for less than US$170:

One piece Samsung with metal design that’s waterproof, shock proof, x-ray proof, temp proof. Cheap and 3.1 usb. $40 for 256gb. Also 5 year warranty

The ASICMiner Block Erupters. They're actually pretty cheap right now. But you probably will never see any return on them because the mining difficulty is so incredibly high right now.

It's just a hobby of mine... One of my many, incomplete hobbies...

> Besides which, I'd have to fill out paperwork to get work to buy me another USB stick

for $30, it's worth buying a new one.

It sounds like you're confused about a couple things and it doesn't sound like you're ready to build a PC. If you buy a PC, whether you buy it off the shelf at a computer store or have one shipped to you, it will come with Windows preinstalled and the Windows license will be part of the overall cost.

Windows 10 1903 is only 3.7GB. At 4.8GB, 1809 was too big for DVD-R/DVD+R discs. 1803 and 1903 are both small enough to burn to DVD. No, you do not need to buy a USB drive. However, Windows will install faster from a USB 3.x flash drive than a DVD-ROM. I recommend either the 32GB Samsung BAR for $10 or the 128GB model for $25. You don't even need 32GB, but the 128GB model is 50% faster. That might be important to you. I have the 32GB model, of the old style (they changed the appearance slightly) and Windows installation is like 20 minutes, and that's to a slow laptop hard drive.

But you're asking about paying, and I suspect you're not talking about USB hardware, but your Windows license. You can install the Windows ISO via direct download or an ISO burned to DVD or extracted to USB, and everything will go fine, but without a license, you won't be able to change the wallpaper (background will be black) and it will constantly notify/nag you about it. So that puts you in license violation, but your computer will still run and Microsoft won't bill you. (A nonzero number of people just deal with that.) To be compliant with Microsoft licensing, you can click the notification and it will help you buy a Windows license. You can do it right through the Windows Store, which would be the easiest way. (You can also use the Windows Store to buy your way from Home to Pro.) You can buy a physical copy at Best Buy or a similar store and input the code where instructed.

Happy to help with any other questions. I'll be here for the next hour or so.

That'll cost you $50 for USB or $30 for a SATA SSD.

I have dozens of drives I've collected over the years, but with storage being so cheap it's easier to transfer your data to a new device rather than rely on a drive so near the end of it's life. Keep the old drive in a bin if you want to keep it for the lulz, but I wouldn't actually use it in my build.

I used to love my WD Passport, until it died. Realized I was better off with something that let me use whatever storage media I wanted. Best of all, this thing lets me one-button back up the SD card to attached USB storage. With a low-profile 256gb thumb drive (eg) permanently slotted into the USB port, the whole thing becomes a shockproof (kinda) waterproof one-touch backup system.

Somebody is probably going to ask:

Mas Design Titanium Key Carabiner - C11

16GB Kingston Datatraveler

Other notable keychain things include:

Leatherman Brewzer

Nomad Chargekey - Micro USB

Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper Tweezers

Or just buy a bunch of these and throw them on a chain!

Currently $49.50 shipped on Amazon. Amazon.com isn't the seller, which sometimes matters when buying flash drives. Also the pictured device is slightly different, but the model # is the same.

Yeah, that will be a scam of one sort or another; don't purchase it.

Just look at prices from reputable vendors to get a good estimate. Here's one from PNY for $86.

Running distros from USB flash drives is something I love. Reasons:

• Harder to accidentally affect other systems you may have on your internal drive.
  
  
• Try out as many (fully installed) distros and DE's as you wish. I run multiple Arch and Debian installs, Fedora, and Solus Linux.
  
  
• Experiment on real hardware instead of VM's. Pros and cons to both approaches.
  
  
• Reasonably fast, and surprisingly so.
  
  
• Reliable in my long experience. I've only had one failure that could be attributed to a failing flash drive, but I am unsure.
  
  
• Serve as rescue tools, and to demo or share with others. Makes them believers...
  
  Here's the flash drives I have the longest experience with:
  
  
• Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 32GB $29 Very good performance. https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Drive-SDCZ80-032G-GAM46/dp/B00KT7DXIU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1512006619&sr=8-5&keywords=sandisk+extreme+32gb
  
  
• Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0 32GB $12 (lesser performing but costs half as much) https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Transfer-Speeds-s-SDCZ48-032G-UAM46/dp/B00KYK2AKO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1512006699&sr=1-3&keywords=sandisk+ultra+usb+3.0+32gb

It looks like you can get the Connect Wireless Stick on Amazon for about $20.

The price of the Pi $10, the cable, $2.50, and the SD card, $9, comes close enough not to make much difference.

I think you're right that the archiving wouldn't be automatic, though. Maybe someone can think of a way to automate the process using this device, though. That'd be neat!

was it this one? I'm looking for a 3.0 flash drive myself

Switching from Google to Microsoft is like going from diarrhea to vomit. If your privacy is worth half a shit to you just get a USB stick for your keychain, these dual USB-A and USB-C ones are nifty. If you have to get cloud storage iCloud probably is the most trustworthy one.

Hello.

Item 1 also depends on if you have FSD or not. FSD buyers seem to get a priority.

Item 2 I have had a Samsung USB drive w 300mb write speeds, for 6 months and have zero issues with it. Can get it here.

Samsung MUF 256AB

I use the Kingston DataTraveler SE9, cant seem to break it.

Mozilla sometimes needs to be restarted for the extension to work (Chrome and Safari don't have this issue). So I'd say first try restarting. Once you've done that, visit an amazon page like this one. Here's a Target page to try.

Also keep in mind you don't need an extension to use the website. You can use the search box on the top of the site to search by keyword or url. Just paste an amazon url in it and you'll get a page like this.

If PZ knows about that item, you'll see a "PZ" icon in the right side of the URL bar (will look like this). Click it to see the price history. It will also show sales rank history (if available) and let you add it to your watchlist.

Would it be possible to use a wifi flash drive to automatically grab replays saved to an emulated memory card on the usb or sd card?

The thing that most excites me about 20xxte at majors is juicy juicy 1080p frame by frame replays of the pros that you can turn hitboxes on for and everything, but it's a pretty big pain in the butt to actually take all the sd cards out and transfer everything over to a computer. If you could do it all wirelessly, I could see it being much easier to convince people to do.

Has anyone tried this method yet? Does it work?

There are actually some USB drives that you can stream video from using their own wifi network. They need to be charged.

Here is an example

You could use this

#1 - You get a large thumb drive; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7Q41PM/

#2 - You only need review the videos when you notice a ding or find some other reason. Think of it like insurance.

I'd get a sandisk flash drive. Something like this 16gb flash drive

This is the one I snagged: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-DataTraveler-DTSE9G2-64GB/dp/B00SOL9Z1M/ref=pd_sim_147_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=549NKFVV26TNS9WXV65J

Crouton works with external drives, although I'd recommend a low-profile USB 3 flash drive (eg, Samsung, Sandisk) over an SD card. I found Crouton from an SD card to be painfully slow any time something had to do much I/O like program updates.

I haven't tried an XBox 360 controller, but my DS4 works plugged in without any extra software. I would guess that it will work fine.

The i3, in addition to being a faster CPU, has twice the EUs in its iGPU compared to the Celeron and they're clocked ~15% higher. Probably won't make a difference it what you're playing, but if you want to try running more graphically-demanding games it would be useful.

Yes it works but you need a lightning to USB adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Lightning-USB3-Camera-Adapter/dp/B01F7KJDIM

Or you need to use a flash drive with lightning connector like this https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-iXpand-iPhone-Silver-SDIX30C-128G-GN6NE/dp/B01CIEBXZG

This might be exactly what you're looking for

You don't even need an SSD. Just get a 250gb USB flash drive. It's what I use and my games load in 5-10 seconds. I keep all my current games on the flash drive and my other games on an external 7200rpm drive. I just move back and forth if I need to. If you really pay attention you can get a 256gb flash drive for $40-70. I have a PNY drive.

a led light is useful if DJing in low light situations!

flash drives are a pretty safe bet too!

This one is rated at 150MB/s read and about 60MB/s write. If you want something faster, the Sandisk Extreme USB is also on flash sale for $16.75. The Extreme is rated for 245MB/s read and about 100MB/s write. I have the Extreme (and in fact just ordered another one with this sale) and it is noticeably faster than any of my other USB3 flash drives. The rated read and write speeds are legit, and it works great especially when I'm copying large virtual image files. Can't speak for the OP but it does seem like a good drive for this price is your needs aren't as... extreme.

Edit: Amazon link to Sandisk Extreme https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KT7DXIU

I have a 32GB USB and I am trying to make the GPT partition using the Windows Disk Manager.

So, I formatted the USB and I still do not see the option to convert it to GPT. I can see the option (through grayed out) when I right click on my current HDD but nothing shows up when I right click on my USB. Do I need to mark it as active?

It's this flash drive. It is pretty thin.

I had a plastic one for keychain use by Sandisk that fell apart. Currently using a metal one made by Samsung on my key chain. So far so good


This one: Samsung 64GB BAR (METAL) USB 3.0 Flash Drive (MUF-64BA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTJKE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0gfAybJC7MFDK

I own one of these Samsung flash drives and it sits on my keychain, attached to a larger fishing swivel for easy access. The metal dings easy but it's held up for 6+ months so far.

Samsung 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (MUF-64BA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTJKE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_47OGxbQF9SHT6

I've had a Samsung BAR 128 on my keychain for three years. Works great. Write speeds can be a little erratic but usually 30-60 mb/s. Much faster than any other inexpensive flash drives I've owned.

They've since updated it with the Bar Plus with USB 3.1. It looks like the write speeds are down to less than 40 now from people who've tested it. Reads are still crazy fast.

At 22 bucks for 128 and all metal waterproof shockproof design it's a decent option. There's probably stuff with better write speeds, but you're going to have to get that M.2 enclosure setup for anything really really good.

A 64GB flash drive should be plenty as far as storage goes, but please please please keep backups elsewhere, such as some cloud service or even another flash drive. If your flash drive dies there's little that can be done to recover the data and you will feel absolutely shitty.

When you have a little extra money to spend, I highly recommend getting something like this. It uses RAID and keeps a copy of the same data on two separate hard drives. That is to say, if one dies, the data is still safe on the second drive. You can then replace the dead drive, and it automatically copies the data over from the good drive to the new one.

But to answer your question: In the meantime, yes, a flash drive is fine, but make frequent backups to something like Google Drive. I'd recommend something like this that's waterproof and has a wide safe temperature range (in case it's left in a car or something).

Good luck!

I just bought this one: SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - SDCZ43-032G-GAM46 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BGTG41W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zDe0BbZZ17689

Despite just ordering my car as well. I've heard recommendations because of the size/look. It's almost flush.

Anything over 32gb might be overkill and will require 3rd party tools to format in FAT32. Release notes state the cam uses 1.8gb per hour of video. I got this one and it seems to work great: SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BGTG41W?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CIEBXZG/ref=psdc_3151491_t1_B00UBGU4WM

I was thinking about getting one of these

I think the quality of your experience will depend on the quality of the app that the manufacturer provides to access the files. As others have said, I’ve never heard of this brand before so I’d want to check out their app reviews.

I went with a Sandisk model that has the same dual lightning to USB dual connectors. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CIEBXZG/ref=psdcmw_3151491_t1_B01MPXCGW3

Their app is really good and stable, and I’m able to quickly move files from the drive onto my phone (and even quickly watch the videos on my phone to identify the right file to move) before I leave the car, so I can always leave the drive in the car. Has worked really great for me so far.

This one is what I use: SanDisk Ultra 128GB Dual USB 3.1 Type-C

Hey u/google_drive_fan11,

This Sandisk seems to have some okay reviews, and those bad ones were contacted by Sandisk support. But I agree with you, the lack of true high quality USB-C 3.1 gen 2 drives is a shame, hopefully if people like you and me buy more USB-C flash drives, the manufacturers will respond to the demand.


That said, If you do get a USB-C drive I'm sure the community here would appreciate a review or any comparisons you can make.

The best price-to-GB ratio will be found in USB "SSDs", e.g. the Samsung T5's. It's basically the same type of chips you'd find in a standard SSD paired with a USB controller. On USB 3.0 you can usually achieve around 350-400MB/sec sustained performance provided the flash controller and the chips can handle it. The USB overhead may be a slight bottleneck but you should see comparable performance to a mid-range SATA SSD.

Or you can build your own by picking up an mSATA SSD along with a USB3 pocket-sized enclosure. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Enclosure-Adapter-Support-EC-UKMS/dp/B00LRZPNHM and https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-850-EVO-Internal-MZ-M5E500BW/dp/B00TGIVVKU/ - a 500GB for less than $200. In fact, some of the "USB SSD" solutions on the market are simply branded versions of this.

If you're really hoping for the stick formfactor typical of USB flash drives, I've had good luck with SanDisk Extreme Pro drives. Example: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDCZ880-128G-G46-Extreme-128GB-Solid/dp/B01MU8TZRV/ These come close to the performance of an mSATA solution but as others have said they can have smaller caches which can make things like running an OS more erratic.

I just use stock Ubuntu LTS on a SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB USB 3.1, benchmarks have it with top marks for writing throughput. I keep that in my laptop bag, but I also have a Kingston Digital 128GB Data Traveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 that I have on my keychain with the same thing on it. The Kingston has a hole for a keyring, and metal case, it's more durable and smaller, but the write performance isn't the best, so using it is slower, but it's good to have in a pinch.

as a professional computer repair company owner, and a DJ, you should have had a backup. no USB drive is infallible, especially against corruption.

now, if your drive isn't being recognized by windows, I'd recommend downloading a Linux Live ISO and trying to read it there. If it works, copy the data to a different flash drive.

If the drive was physically bent, you may have damaged the thin silicon and broken the traces that lead to the controller or flash chip, in which case you'd need to bring it to a data recovery specialist.

In the future, make Playlists in RekordBox and drag the Playlist to the drive. If you lose the drive, you can recreate it on a new drive by moving the Playlists again.

Also, use Samsung bar metal drives, such as this one: Samsung BAR Plus 128GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive Champagne Silver (MUF-128BE3/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPK3XWW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4CHSCbFKS63B0

You can't bend it with typical forces such as leaning on it or accidentally running into it while walking by the side of your laptop.

Hopefully these tips cure you of your ailments.

I went with this mini drive from Samsung since the description mentioned it could tolerate high temps. I’ve heard good things on Samsung’s flash memory vs lower end SanDisk.

Edit: whoops, here’s the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hO1XBbDWT3HEG

Why get something that big when you can get a Samsung flash drive this small?

Yeah, I got this guy:

It's specifically marketed as a high temp/durable drive.

Based on recommendations here, I got the [Samsung 32GB Fit](Samsung MUF-32AB/AM FIT Plus 32GB - 200MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7SX9NS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sxN3BbBBT9YH6). Buy 2 of them, so if one goes bad, swap it out then repair the messed up one.

I'm guessing you don't have to have a totally clear drive. I've always used an empty drive, but I have tried it with multiple BIOS versions on the drive at once, and I was able to select in the BIOS which file to flash. As long as the BIOS file is in the root directory of the drive I believe it should be detected.

That's assuming the USB drive is FAT32 formatted. If it's something like NTFS or exFAT then I doubt it would work.

Edit: You could also get a cheap USB drive just for stuff like this; 16GB for $3.99 at Amazon.

SanDisk 16GB 2.0 Flash Cruzer Glide USB Drive (SDCZ60-016G-B35) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YX9O9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PZ7rybWKK48CP

Get this or something similar, and plug it into the back. That should fix your storage deficiency, and costs $5.

Is dogecoin resistant to ASICs? I wanted to support/hobby mine dogecoin.

Example of one i was looking at: http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

> Laptops get really hot mining

OP is asking about a USB plugin ASIC miner
Example: https://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO
The laptop won't get hot. The USB device will

I don't think ASIC cards can be inserted directly into a PC, I think they require specialized hardware. Are you thinking of something like this?

https://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

You probably won't get much return on these unless Bitcoin goes up by a lot, here's a price comparison of the different hardware you might use if you're going to be mining with USB devices. If that's your goal, it would be a different build for your PC. You'd want to have as many USB slots as possible, or to get powered USB splitters.

https://www.bitcoinmining.com/bitcoin-mining-hardware/

Here let me see if I can find the one's I just bought. Sha-256, AKA BTC Mining Stuff is all ASIC now like these little USB things.

I bought some of those off some dude's dogemining site awhile ago, they make less than 10 cents a day mining BTC, lol. I'm scared to think of the ASIC monsters the people who are making 10's of thousands of USD a day would look like.

Kingston DTSE9 - Small little metal 16GB USB drive that's meant to go on your keys. I've had mine for 3 years and I love it. It's gets this really nice beaten-up, stonewashed finish after rubbing on your keys for awhile. You can see how small it is on my keys here.

Fenix E12 - Compact single AA flashlight that is a great size for putting in your pocket/bag. I have the previous model, the E11, and I love it. Fairly bright for a single AA.

Leatherman Bit Set - I just recently bought this for myself, and it's amazing. I have a Leatherman Wave and a Skeletool CX which use Leatherman bits; some of the lower end Leathermans don't use these. This comes with torx, phillips, flat, hex, and small eyeglass bits.

Solar Panel Cell Phone Charger - I keep this exact model in my backpack with a 6" USB cable. It's basically just a small solar panel with a USB port. Really nice build quality for the price, and it works great. It can charge my phone twice without needing to be charged via computer or sunlight.

I think all of this is under $80 cumulatively.

Full-time student, so every time of fun makes me feel guilty so I know the feel of being bored while working :(

But I love that I can make anyone laugh within minutes of meeting them...if they don't come off as a douchebag that is.

I love gaming, and I'm really big on LAN parties, so if we need to install games on someone else's computer, I'm going to need a Flash Drive.

Thanks for the contest!

to the betas considering these, please do yourself a favor and stop being tacky

Buy him an SE9

Had this one for 7 or 8 years without a problem. I kept it on my key chain and it had a rough life, has been swimming, covered in mud, stepped on, etc. and as far as I know is still going (gave to a coworker).

here ya go.

Kingston DataTraveller SE9

I own 3 of these things, Kingston DTSE9.

I like many of your choices. Some of my recent purchases not included in your list, some quite a bit under $25:

• Sharpening stone
  
• Leatherman Squirt PS4
  
• Whistles
  
• Tactical pen
  
• P38/P51 can openers
  
• 550 Paracord
  
• USB flash drive for your keyring
  
• LED flashlights for keyring
  
• Universal handcuff key

Not the highest performing drive or the cheapest. Seems decent though.

256GB USB 3.0 flash drive.

>It backs up everything for all profiles, and will take up more than a USB stick...

that is not necessarily true. OP said his brother has an original PS3, so he may have only a 20, 40, or 60GB hard drive. 64GB USB flash drives are inexpensive and very common these days. Heck, you can get a 128GB flash drive for $35 delivered right now. moving up to a 256GB, it starts to get expensive.

If you want something rugged that will hold up to falls, dust, and sand, flash memory is the way to go. Much more durable than a hard drive.

Unfortunately, SSDs are outside your price range. If you can make 256GB work for enough movies and TV, then a flash drive like this is worth it.

https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Turbo-256GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00JN1TOHM/

Just something to think about. Buying two of those might be an option depending on your position. Even one, if you're willing to go with standard definition video content, 256GB will hold weeks worth of entertainment.

I don't think it does natively, but you may be able to install ntfs-3g on a bootable USB. I'd check out Amazon for their 256GB USB 3 keys. Not an ideal or immediate solution, but it's <$50. Might be worth having around.

Wrong. So wrong....

I paid $69.99 over 3 years ago for a decent 256GB USB 3.0 one.

Proof: https://imgur.com/a/v70YxRB

I used a giftcard/amazon promo credit and also got credited some amount for some issues which is why the total is different.

Also its $39.99 now, not $80. freaking guy just making shit up....

There's no point in prefering usb2 over usb3, as it is backwards compatible.

Just make sure the flash drive(s) you get actually takes advantage of usb3, many while claiming to be usb3 perform abysmally. Prefer something like this for instance, which while it is a bit old, it's blazingly fast.

So you are connecting your V20 over USB-C to your laptop using PDAnet+, right? So you got a working internet connection on the PC, right? (This is what I am sometimes doing when working while travelling by bus or train).

So now the UTP/ethernet port of your laptop needs to start acting as a router? Is that where you are stuck?

If so, try googling "internet connection sharing windows 7" or "(...) windows 10", depending on your situation.

I have managed to do something like this (but different), in companion with this (now discontinued) device:

• https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Companion-Storage-Charger-MLWG2/dp/B00KU2E9IW
  
  My situation was different, though:
  
  
• (Paid) camping wifi connection to the laptop for internet access
  
• Set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the UTP/RJ-45 port of the laptop
  
• Attach with CAT-5 patch cable to the Kingston
  
• The Kingston would act as a Wifi access point for the various phones and tablets that we were using (this way we did not have to buy Wifi internet access for each single device)
  
  You may not need something like the Kingston, though, because the PS4 has its own UTP/RJ-45 port. You may need a crossover cable, though.
  

Found this one on Amazon. Appears to work as a wireless NAS. There's also this Kingston model.

I use this to back up my cards without a computer to my external hard drive

Kingston Digital MobileLite Wireless Flash Reader G2 for Smartphones and Tablets (MLWG2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KU2E9IW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_wN1Pub0JMD699

I found this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Companion-Storage-Battery-Charger/dp/B00KU2E9IW

You can plug an SD Card in to it and an external hard-drive and the data can be transferred from your SD card on to the hard-drive.

My only caveat is that I have never used it, I have ordered it for a trip i am going on, hope this helps.

Based on a reply in a different thread, I picked up a Kingston MobileLite G2. I can dump my SD cards onto a 2 TB hard drive without a computer.

It is kinda slow with large files, so I usually transfer in the evening.

Kingston have a device that lets you transfer files from a sd card to a hard drive without a laptop but you will need a smartphone. Its not the fastest transfer but it does the job in offloading a full memory card. It can also be used as a portable power supply so pretty handy! Heres a link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00KU2E9IW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425297185&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=kingston+g2&dpPl=1&dpID=31VyqKe20gL&ref=plSrch

I have a USB that looks similar.
https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-DataTraveler-DTSE9G2-64GB/dp/B00SOL9Z1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465949136&sr=1-1&keywords=kingston+usb

The Sandisks are decent, just not so great for a keychain. Kingston Datatravelers hold up much better from my experience: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SOL9Z1M/

(avoid cheap Kingston's as mentioned...or any cheap usb for that matter...these however are decently built, have gone through a 2.0 and now using a 3.0...both survived my keychain on a fast clip for more than two years each with no problems)

Man,

I've been searching (not very well apparently..) for a cheaper version of the Orbitkey for so long!

I bought the key organizer last night and received it this after noon! For your comments about retightening it, I'll see what will happen but you might want to try a drop of blue loctite or even the pink one.

For the USB, I had a Kingston data traveler 64g laying around a the office. It works well with the key organizer ( an pretty cheap too)https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00SOL9Z1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anyway! Thanks again

100% right. It is limited. But, you can still have something you can make fairly sharp on a keychain that is good enough for 75% of common urban causal (non-knife-type-work stuff or home use) knife tasks. If dull, you can take care of less. I also have a good AAA flashlight on my key chain. probably almost as good as the crap 2D plastic stuff you find in grocery stores, but not near as good as a "real flashlight".

I keep a lot on my keychain (more than most), including one of those little USB storage things - which are fairly resilient and inexpensive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SOL9Z1M/

Here's the one I've got.

The SanDisk Cruzer 128GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ36-128G-B35) worked for me and has been working for me for the past week or so since I got it. No issues and everything runs fine. I have about 100 ps1 games, 100 mame/neogeo games, and 100 snes games.

​

I also have this usb hub, Insignia™ - 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub - Black, and am able to play 2-player games with no issue. I connect it to the first usb slot and connect 2 controllers to it. No internal mods on anything.

price history

Have you seen Corsair Survivor series? The drive is enclosed in a metal protective case, which is opened by unscrewing the drive from it.

If you want a unique flash drive, I think the best option is to buy one with an all-metal body and have it engraved/acid etched. This seems to be the fastest one available.

Most original-looking flash drives are, unfortunately, quite slow :(

I got two of the 64GB versions of these:

Samsung 64GB BAR (METAL) USB 3.0... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTJKE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Nice thing about these is that they come pre formatted as FAT32. Just have to add the TeslaCam folder and you are good to go.

Nice having those USB ports where I can reach them. Samsung 3.0 64GB for $19.99

I can't get anything to show up in iFile or Filza. I managed to install CameraConnector on my iOS 10.2 iPhone 6P but the preference bundle is unable to be opened within settings, it needs to be updated.

I have this Samsung USB 3.0 flash drive I just got last week. Plugging it into the CCK directly gives the error message that the devices requires too much power and is incompatible.

For whatever reason, if you use this USB splitter plugged into the CCK and then plug your flash drive into that, it allows you to access the drive...kind of. Your iPhone will automatically launch the Photos app to a tab called Import but nothing will show up if you don't have any photos/videos in a folder called DCIM. I was able to import pictures and videos from the flash drive after I put them within a folder on the drive.

The catch is that you can only import files from the drive in Photos app, you can't watch or view them from the drive. You can only see the thumbnails. And nothing in iFile or Filza works any more. I used the tweak Mounted and also CameraConnector and I got nothing.

Also, I then formatted the drive to HFS+ or whatever and put a video on the drive. My phone reboots after about 10 seconds after plugging it in. This has happened twice now.

PS, this Digital/Analog Converter works for me as long as I have a separate power source for the DAC using another USB splitter that splits the power and data into two separate cables.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

64gbs and really cheap.

I was in the same boat. Here were my considerations...

• Fast write-speeds: to capture continuous video write to the disk
  
• Large Capacity and inexpensive stick: fewer read/write per sector makes it more reliable/longer lasting
  
• Large and expensive SSD)
  
• Endurance/commercial type for more read/write cycles and hotter/colder temps
  
• Small form factor: not so big/rigid to avoid possibility of breaking while in tight area
  
• WiFi capability: to get the data on/off without physical transfer
  
  and what i ended up deciding...
  
  Based on the feedback so far, I'm leaning toward the Sandisk Ultra Fit.
  
  In order of importance, my decision factors...
  
  
• The small form factor will reduce the chance of me hitting it accidentally and possibly breaking the port.
  
  
• It is fairly cheap at $19 for 64GB version. This allows me to store at least 1 day of video at least 2000 miles of driving (over a month of driving) and reduce the number of re-writes.
  
  
• The write-speed is not a factor, but USB 3.0 should be more future proof if Tesla changes the system, or if i re-purpose the drive to another task. If you want the older version with 2.0, it is even less expensive.
  
  
• Endurance doesn't seem to be a popular concern, so ignoring it for now. I am slightly concerned with operating temperature [32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C)] and storage temp [14°F to 158°F (-10°C to 70°C)], but we'll see how it goes this winter. Those more further north than me can report in if they have success or failure.
  
  
• I also ignored the WiFi capability because if i need to unplug the device, there is no reason to use it. I'm still curious if SD based cards like the Toshiba Flash Air W-04 would have a different behavior. I bought one for my digital camera, so i'll give it a try in the Tesla too. The cost is significantly higher, but if i can access dash cam videos from my cell phone and before getting home and without unplugging, that would be a big plus. (also need to find the right SD to USB adapter.)
  
  Thanks for helping me think it out.
  
  discussion here
  
  edit, changed recording time to distance driven, as it records while moving, not 24/7

- Freenas is based on Freebsd, which takes a bit longer to support/optimize for new platforms. That being said, Freebsd fully supports Ryzen at this point in time. The only caveat is that most motherboards will not support ECC memory with an APU such as the 2200g.

​

- Microsoft has made great strides with Windows Storage Spaces in terms of performance, but I'll be damned if ill trust a windows os with my data. They are just too unreliable in terms of updates breaking things badly, poor code that causes memory leaks and other nasty things that are directly opposed to some of the main tenets of a storage solution: Uptime&Stability

​

This being said, for a small business, your most likely carefree experience will actually come to a platform that is tested by time, with the advantage of being very cost efficient. ECC DDR3 ram is very inexpensive right now, and the performance difference from a dual Xeon motherboard with 32gb of ddr3 to a Ryzen with the same amount will be minimal, while probably costing you a fraction.

I was only using the dashcam and that seemed to work well. Then, I decided to start using the Sentry mode and after the latest update saw this same error.

So, I did a bit of research and found this solid state flash drive with a tested ~260MB/s write speed.

This could help

I wish some law would be passed making "Industry standard and current removable memory" (SD cards, but worded in a way that if something else came along to dethrone SD it would be included) and "industry standard and current wired connectors" (micro-usb, but worded in a way that USB type C could replace it) would be mandatory for a phone to receive FCC approval.

Offload your archived documents to an external hard drive. The simplest method is to use a SanDisk Wireless Stick. It appears as a drive on your iPhone and you can copy directly to it and leave it safely at home. You can get 128GB for $70 US. For more security with your documents, buy a second drive and keep one at a friend or relative's house so in case of catastrophe you don't lose ALL of your data. Every few months, swap drives so you're adding to one while the other is safely away from home.

A better solution is to run a file server, but it will cost you $300 more with drive. Synology is a great choice and offers you the ability to serve files, calendars, music, movies, security video, notes, even your own cloud storage and store it all in a redundant array of disks that (nearly) guarantee you won't lose anything because one drive failed. It's more money, more work to set up, but it is extremely flexible. Synology is good about making the setup significantly easier than trying to run Windows Server or any Linux file server.

These are far from free options, however it does highlight that there is a cost to keeping things even if it isn't physical space.

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-128GB-Type-C-SDDDC2-128G-G46/dp/B01EZ0X55C/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1523539856&sr=1-1&keywords=SDDDC2-128G-G46

1. I don't see why not - Yubikey supports A and NFC concurrently, and USB C is still USB, just with a different interface. I mean, you could hack it in via duplicating the USB A channels & pipe one of them into a USB A -> USB C adapter? You already have this in the form of flash drives - https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-128GB-Type-C-SDDDC2-128G-G46/dp/B01EZ0X55C
   
   
2. I'd be sceptical. The packaging suggest that the usb cable is intended to only charge it - they have good reason to omit data lines in protecting key leakage (although you could potentially perform power analysis on it? i'm not sure!), so I can't imagine firmware updates could be done through that micro-usb port. Furthermore, it provides a reason for Google to sell more keys!
   
   
3. I suppose the benefits would be down to the open source nature - theres less reason to suspect backdoors, + if a component on the board breaks (other than the memory of course), you could replace it without having to get a new auth token and pair it with all your existing services.

I use one of these SanDisk 128GB Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDDDC2-128G-G46 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZ0X55C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eWk4DbFD7VWSX

I'm not sure if it is the update or the new drive I bought but I have not had it fail for a week now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EZ0X55C?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title

Edit: As a test I plugged in my old USB drive that failed after everytime driving the car. I am on 42.3 and it is still working after almost 24 hours and multiple short trips around town. so it looks like they may have fixed the issue with the new update.

One useful note. While you cant extend the pixel's storage, you can still get USB dangles that can be plugged in relatively easily. It's not perfect, but it's useful for transferring large files on and off, if required outside good signal areas.

This: the sandisk extreme pro. cheap at 45 dollars for 128 gb. these sandisk extreme pros have ssd controllers inside them, so they are super fast for flash drives. fast enough that i run an entire instance of windows 10 off one, and it works very well. they are not as fast as traditional sata or m.2 ssds in an enclosure, but can hit 300/400 meg a second, or at least 200 in other cases. i have one, and it is by FAR the fastest usb drive i have.

Thanks. For anyone interested, this seems to have best speeds for usb flash (obviously external SSD is fastest if they work too): SanDisk Extreme PRO CZ88 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Speeds Up To 260MB/s

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HR7FWUC

Or even faster updated usb 3.1 version i just saw https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MU8TZRV/

The smaller flash drives seem to be just microSD card housings and so top out well under 100 MB/s write speed, a bit slow for copying 1440p/4K 60fps content.

Also went with a 128GB Samsung Evo Select SD card, much better write speeds than the Samsung Evo+ in the $99 immersive preorder promo.

Go with this one because I’ve had no issues what so ever: Samsung MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus 64GB... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I had a flash drive that lasted like 6 weeks being used for Sentry before it failed into read-only mode. Turns out Sentry is brutal on the circuits of the drive.

Does anyone have recommendations for a drive that's more durable? I saw someone mention https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4/ as one but I don't see anywhere on that page where it indicates it'll hold up.

I have this thumb drive but since V10 I've been getting "drive to slow" messages, so looking to upgrade, perhaps to a full SSD.

I know the Samsung T5s are often recommended here, but the operating temperature is 0-60 C, and I need something that can operate in winter (probably 0F / -17C) as well as hot summers. What's everyone here using?

There’s lots of options, I’m using this one:

no good? if not please let me know why , or give link for comparable.

I did have a partition on it with music and it worked fine for 2 months and then i started getting the speed error.

Having issues with my USB drive for the dashcam. I have two Model 3s, both are SR+, one with FSD and one without. I originally ordered two of these (Samsung 256GB Flash drive) as I saw it recommended on this subreddit. After one of the most recent software updates, both cars started saying that the write speed was too slow. Unplugging and plugging the flash drive back in was a temporary workaround, but after a few minutes or hours the error message would come back, and I confirmed that nothing was being recorded to the drive when the error message was being displayed.

After doing additional research, I ordered this (SanDisk MobileMate microSD card reader) and this (SanDisk 256GB high endurance MicroSD card, specifically advertised for usage with dash cams). It worked fine for me for about 10 days, and then my car simply stopped recognizing it. I plugged it into my computer and confirmed there was nothing wrong with it, it still had all my sentry mode recordings up until November 15th, and then nothing. I ultimately decided to reformat the card again (using Disk Utility on Mac, using FAT) and still the car will not recognize it. I tried it on the other Model 3 and it also does not recognize it, so either Tesla did something again in the most recent software update, or something went wrong with the drive? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Hey OP, I tried this exact usb drive pictured and it did not work, but I did buy this and it worked perfectly. Some usb drives are unable to get enough power to boot up

How about $5

It's this SanDisk USB Drive.

True, but a decent 16gb flash drive is $5. The adapter OP references is nearly $8. Boot drives don’t need to be fast. Sure it might take an extra minute to boot, but I personally only reboot mine for updates.

And the back up the $5 claim: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YX9O9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2IAEDbTHQKFY2

Does it look like this? Does it have an ethernet port in the back? If so, it's a slim. However, I think some newer models may not support FMCB. You can just pirate the Nexus copy, I don't think anyone realistically cares. With that being said, once you get back to your PS2, if you will any time soon, then I can tell you how to get FMCB and the like.

You may want two memory cards for this, though. Or one large memory card. FMCB installs on your memory card and it's a huge file in comparison to most standard memory cards.

With that being said, it may be a pain to set up, but every single Armored Core game in Gens 1-3 other than Formula Front is supported flawlessly (as far as I've seen) via OPL (Open PS2 Loader) and POPSTARTER. Loading times might be a bit shorter or longer, but I've never had any sort of jarring gameplay issues that may be present on emulator.

If you're wondering any of the costs:

1. If you need memory cards: Link - $13
   
   
2. Cheap USB Thumb Drive Link - $5
   
   
3. Swap Magic: Link $25
   
   If you already have a cheap thumb drive lying around as well as spare memory cards, you only need to pay 25 bucks. You can use this to get cfw on your PS2 and then you can use a SAMBA connection to play your PS2 games. You can trust me on this as I'm not only a moderator of this subreddit, but also a moderator of /r/PS2, /r/PS3Hacks, /r/PS3Homebrew, /r/PS4Homebrew, and the PlayStation Homebrew discord server. I'm open and willing to help anyone on this.

Why not? A 16Gb USb is literally only $4?.

You probably spend more on toothpaste.

you can install to USB drives formatted as Xbox 360 storage. You can also delete and re-install as often as you wish. a $5 flash drive could have prevented your problem.

Are there any block erupters for Monero? Like this

Any Bitcoin ASIC can crack brainwallets. Eg:

http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

+/u/dogetipbot 100 doge verify

Thank you for the tip! How do I go about setting one of these up? Do they work with Mac OS X (Asteroid, etc)

EDIT: Well this looks LEGIT -$280

ASIC is a generic term for a dedicated piece of circuitry - for example, this thumb drive. Reading the product reviews, though, indicates that given the current BT difficulty, the return on said specialized device is so minimal that you wouldn't really be profiting.

The hub itself is useless for mining, but some miners use a hub like that with a collection of these:

http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

Oh something that I forgot, should I just get this instead?
http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381351702&sr=8-1&keywords=bitcoin+miners

Amazon source to buy these cheap:
http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

At today's conversion rate these "should" pay for them selves in the first 30 days (approx $15 a month per USB device income @ $200 per BTC, and these cost less than $12 each, not counting shipping and electricity consumed. (These consume very little compared to graphics card mining)

TL:DR - For $12 + shipping you can mine your own Bitcoin with a little research (Google it)

I suggest you buy an ASICminer Block Erupter. It costs 1/2 as much as a video card and uses 1/150th of the power.

http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-300MH-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

Note however, that in (September?) the price will be dropping to $20 a unit.

http://thegenesisblock.com/asicminer-usb-bitcoin-miner-price-drops-80-to-0-175-btc/ http://launch.avalon-asics.com/

Mining with video cards is now a loud, hot, expensive waste of time. Up until a month ago it was profitable in some situations, but now there's really no point.

If you like hacking with hardware (and you seem to be the type that does), you should try running your Block Erupters using a Raspberry Pi as the host computer, and Mine Peon as the operating system:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251675.0

It's awesome. You just literally copy over the firmware, plug it in, and it works. There's even one guy on the forums running his ASIC miners this way using a solar panel as the power source.

I remember this argument was the reason for a mining push back when ASIC Block Erupters (https://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO) first hit the scene in 2013.

Everyone I know bought a bunch of these little cuties, and I think the hashrate did see a tiny, tiny upward push for a week or less.

But then the very next model of antminer or something came out and wiped the previous hashrate level away like it was dust in the wind. Then another 2 weeks later. Then another and another.

Simply put, the hashrate grows way, way way, way way way too fast for this. It will always be economically correct to buy the most efficient mining rig and lots of it.

GPU mining died around 2013 when ASICS were nearing completed development and while they tested them, difficulty shot through the roof, and even more once released, which made it more expensive to just power GPU rigs than the coins were worth

EDIT: just one of the latest ATI cards mines about 1-1.5 KH/s. As you can see, for 30 bucks and VERY LOW power, this device can do 330MH/s which is about 300x more.

http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO

So this is why GPU mining went down hill. (these were much more expensive 3 years ago, but still.)

Searching would have been prudent, but there's no reason to apologize, especially not to /u/Reality4you: s/he is rude to everyone.

If you really want to mine as a hobbyist, you could plunk down $30 and get one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/ASICMiner-Block-Erupter-USB-Sapphire/dp/B00CUJT7TO/

You won't earn much coin, but it is a fun and interesting learning experience to mine.

And.. draw ~9 tickets for $4? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CUJT7TO?pc_redir=1405040802&robot_redir=1

My critique of your question.

Your hardware options are wide open. Anything that will support AMD-V or VT-d (no need for VT-x) will work. Some will say 8GB of ram is ok, I'd recommend 16GB to give yourself breathing room.

If you want to be lazy a Dell PowerEdge T110 II will fit your needs. Processor details. By lazy I mean not worrying too much about hardware details and focusing on setting up a backup solution, XBMC (Kodi), Lychee. I highly recommend booting whatever OS for virtualization off of USB to separate your hypervisor from your VM data. This way if the hypervisor takes a shit (it shouldn't) your VMs are safe. In your case it allows you to rebuild the RAID array without worrying about losing your host configuration settings.

Expect this to take you longer than 10 days, the time between now and christmas, unless you can dedicate all your time to the project.

this is the one i have. speed and quality can differ sometimes with different brands.

Sandisk Extreme

Great reviews, cheap, and probably one of the fastest flash drives out ther.

Sure - here's the 32gb one for $30. You can get the 64gb for $50. There's another model (linked on that same page) with similar performance and 128gb for $99.

EDIT: Also, did you get Windows to boot off the USB drive, btw?

Xubuntu on VirtualBox runs relatively fast. I have the image on this USB device and it seems just as fast as running off the SSD. If I have something large to build I will go plug the usb key into my desktop so I can allocate more cores. As it is, I use 2 cores and 1.75GB ram with VirtualBox on SP3.

I use the Kingston MobileLite G2 with my iPad for that exact thing. Looks like they are up to a G4 now.

Damn, at first I was planning to travel with a Kingston mobilelite (https://www.amazon.ca/Kingston-Digital-MobileLite-Smartphones-MLWG2/dp/B00KU2E9IW) and external hard drive setup. But then somewhere I read that a few 64 GB SD cards would suffice. Now I don't know what to think. I will probably revert back to the external hard drive set up. Thank you

I will want to film without fear of filling up my expensive SD cards all the time

I got this from Amazon before going on my honeymoon to Alaska. You basically connect to its' wifi from your phone, plug in your external, select what you want to transfer, then click go. It worked awesomely, highly recommend. It also acts as a battery charger.

Thanks /u/lamic

I looked through your post and recommendations, it looks awesome! I know I really should wait for the Hero5 but I'm not sure if I can wait.


I started to put a list of things I want/need into a spreadsheet, to start looking at Price. I have Amazon Prime so I'm thinking about ordering everything through Amazon.


Can you take a quick look through my list and see if everything checks out and if I missed anything for "Basic" operations? Then could you make any more recommendations, or let me know what my next purchases should be?

• GoPro HERO4 SILVER- $338
  
  
  
• Memory Card Lexar 64GB- $35, Looks like the cheapest one between Sandisk Extreme and Lexar, Lexar currently is the cheapest on Amazon
  
  
• Batteries - Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack)- $22, Read a few reviews and people said they like these batteries a lot. Should give me enough juice and let me know how long I can record with, until I'm completely dead.
  
  
  
• Protection Lens - $7 I really just need to lens protector, in the reviews people are saying some parts don’t fit the Hero4 only the Hero3. Or should I put the $20 version off the actual GoPro site?
  
  
• GoPro The Tool – $4, Like you requested and reading some comments it looks like it would be worth it.
  
  
• A basic Card Reader - $7, did a quick google search on best card readers this one popped up for best for it’s price.
  
  
• SANDMARC® Pole - $40, Looked up some reviews and people tend to like this one. It seems like is always recommended to have some kind of stick or holdable mount to start off with. Also could you go into a little more detail about mounting the GoPro?
  
  
• Pelican Case -$25 I like the idea of it being waterproof and I like to be organized with my stuff. So this looks like a perfect fit. And it will be an awesome case to travel with.
  
  
• Kingston 5-in-1 Mobile Companion - $35 I was watching some videos and it seems like this could be a cool little gadget to have. I would mostly use it for “mobile uploads to Hard Drives”. Working in IT I know how important it is to have backups, and this will let me get around bringing a laptop to the resort and other stuff. This is the video I’m referring too that shows you how to upload to a HD with out a computer.
  
  
  So with everything in my cart I’m sitting at $488 which is with in my budget.
  
  I’m still reading about the remote. That might be something we add down the line. I think I’ll be pretty content with just my phone app or getting the “waterproof touch screen” case cover too.
  
  Do you think this is a good setup? Will this get me going? Do you have any recommendations, or anything that I should add or not buy yet?
  

Try the Kingston Mobile Companion creates a wifi network and you can slot and sd card in and attach a usb drive so you can use your iPhone or iPad to copy files between the sd card and sub drive or into your idevice Kingston 5-in-1 Mobile Companion (Extra Storage, Battery Charger and More) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KU2E9IW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_UECGwbBPJ8JZV

That does look like a solid alternative. I don't love buying from eBay, and I'm in Canada, so things are a bit different for me, but a couple retailers have it for ~$30 CAD.

Looks like Amazon.com has it too: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-Companion-Expanded-MLWG2/dp/B00KU2E9IW

Get a wireless media hub. Something like this RAVPower or Kingston will let you have 'unlimited' storage for your device on the go.

I've been looking for a way to do the same thing. I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Companion-Storage-Charger-MLWG2/dp/B00KU2E9IW

I don't have one yet, but this is the one I'm considering right now.

i currently have a 2010 macbook pro with a 2tb external hard drive for movies photos and music. i'm in the process of purchasing this Kingston device so i can travel and transfer photos to my external hard drive without the need of my laptop. it also serves for other purposes too. i use this [Anker battery](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X5RV14Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KU2E9IW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) so i can charge my iphone and gopro while traveling or when the power goes out. a camera would also be awesome to bring.

I have 4 of these on my keychain, 1 of each size - 8GB has TAILS on it, 16GB has Portable Apps and a few other programs, 32GB has a YUMI with different Linux Distros, Windows 7,8 and 10 iso's, and various recovery cd's, and my 64GB has a VeraCrypt volume and plenty of free space for just random junk.

If you care about your data, you should figure out a backup solution. I would suggest a small personal NAS, something like this WD 4TB My Cloud Home Duo Personal Cloud Storage - Dual Drive - WDBMUT0040JWT-NESN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DV59ZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KwBKAbWN0Z4CS

There is a single drive version, which would be ok, if you duplicate your data on your PC, to maintain redundancy.

Otherwise, here is a SanDisk 128gb flash drive for less than $30 SanDisk Cruzer 128GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ36-128G-B35) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKFCYP0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EABKAb4BPK80Y

But, yes, what you intend to do should work. I just wouldn't recommend it without having the data backed up.

I got my classic last week and bought this USB stick: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-128GB-Flash-SDCZ36-128G-B35/dp/B00TKFCYP0

I have not tried the hack, but the PlayStation Classic powers it when playing. It’s just a regular Cruzer not one of the other kinds, so hopefully the same rule applies

My combination works for me.

I went for a size/price tradeoff. For me, the dashcam is in case something ever happens that I need evidence for. I'm not planning on using it constantly unless I need it for documentation, no plans to start my own YouTube channel or anything anytime soon.

Well, I'm on a mac so using Disc Doctor I have formatted in Fat and ExFat and neither works. It's this stick

Sounds like the 2GB cloud option is not enough but maybe a 128gb SanDisk USB key might do?

If more then that is needed I would suggest a 1tb WD drive they are not much more expensive and don't require external power but do have an additional cable and bulk.

SanDisk Cruzer USB 2.0 128GB (SDCZ36-128G-B35): needs a powered hub. Otherwise, it remains powered when plugged in, and the PSC won't read it. With a hub, it's great.

Note that this is not a Fit, Ultra, Glide, etc. Just marketed as a SanDisk Cruzer.

Why not just get one of those WIFI enabled usb drives. USB DRIVE

Have it wirelessly back up every hour or so, or you can write a script to send it to some cloud shit.

Did you see this? https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Connect-Wireless-Stick-Flash/dp/B00ZCFYT5K

I have this one and it works fine in my TM3:

Internet backup isn't always available, especially when backpacking around in Asia. What I do instead is keep a wireless usb stick in my pocket and my computer automatically backs up all work files to that incrementally every 5 minutes. This also protects me if my computer gets stolen out my room because the usb stick always goes with me.

Edit:

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Wireless-Smartphones-Computers-SDWS4-032G-G46/dp/B00ZCFYT5K/

There you go. Please don't try to back up through wifi. Just warning you :)

Anyone using the samsung bar's for their CDJ needs? I did some research a few weeks back and it was in the top 5 in most places. I picked up two 64 gig sticks.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTJKE/ref=twister_B0148N153A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Samsung

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-METAL-Flash-MUF-64BA-AM/dp/B013CCTJKE

They have survived the washing machine and drier as well as been stepped on.

Speed is good and they are bootable and seen as flash drives by windows. I did have a 128 gb one fail on me do to overheating, working on getting a replacement from Samsung.

Cheap SanDisk USB 3.0 drives have been my go to, but now I need to upgrade to 64GB.

My longtime CDJ-using friend recommended this Samsung model that I have on order.

Could you tell me what type of USB stick you were using? I am going to order a new one on Amazon, I'm thinking this: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-METAL-Flash-MUF-64BA-AM/dp/B013CCTJKE/

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-METAL-Flash-MUF-64BA-AM/dp/B013CCTJKE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480792434&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+64+usb+3.0

Well I went and bought this thing https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-METAL-Flash-MUF-64BA-AM/dp/B013CCTJKE

Read over a lot of reviews and Samsung seemed the only.. consistent ones I suppose. 30 - 40mb/s write might not be too crazy, but uploading 10GB in a few minutes seems pretty great to me. If it works as reliably as the Samsung memory card I got for my phone a few years ago, that'll be great.

I have had no problems out of my metal Samsung USB in over a year of carry. Solid attachment point.

hey I don't know if this is simple or not, but on a PC (such as a school or library pc) that has completely blocked all kinds of installations of new software, could I run both steam and steam games that are pre-installed on a standard USB flash like this and not have to install any further on the pc?

I haven't done any precise benchmarks etc but it seems perfectly fine to me. I use this one : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013CCTJKE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Samsung FIt is a USB flash drive. This PC has very limited memory, to it's recommend to put all of your files and downloads directly to it.

Samsung 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Fit (MUF-64BB/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTNKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_8N23jDQnVkpAc..

I've been using it for the past few days for learning Web Development, I've had no issues. I've had 6-8 tabs open, a media application open, and sublime text Editor. I can see maybe more intensive programs could cause an issue, but so far I've had none.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for a small-ish drive to use, but they all seem to overheat, except for the Samsung one. I'm also wondering about how well a tiny drive could run Linux.

I'm using samsung FIT USB 3.0, no issues. Remember though that for CDJs you'll need to use DISKPART and partition the drive at 32GB with the FAT32 file system.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Flash-Drive-MUF-64BB-AM/dp/B013CCTNKU

Well I wouldn't need the charger/ram since I'd put 8gb into it and I have a charger already.

I could maybe include this? It's the 64gb one.

> USB

Just get a low profile USB thumb drive. They are dirt cheap ($20 for 64GB) or $40 for 128GB. That's a ton of music, no weird wifi thing needed.

For reference, this is the previous-gen Samsung: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTNKU

The current-gen appear to be bigger and clunkier, and I have not used them. I have also used the low-profile Lexar USB drives. They're a bit slower and have a big bright blue LED when active. This is useful for some purposes (writing ISOs is mine) but is surely annoying for an always-connected drive.

SanDisk might be the best option. Or an SD card of course. I don't remember if EDGAR has a fully-recessed SD reader though.

>I was referring to this model: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B013CCTNKU, which now appears to be the previous-generation... I have not tried the newer ones.

Oh, that is much better. I'll see if I can find a seller somewhere.

>Yes you can copy from one USB to another. There are a few ways to do it, with different pros and cons.. I'd use dd, but there's probably a friendlier tool if that doesn't fit your tastes. :)

Good to know, I'll try that as well.

Thanks for your help!

For me? No. For other people? kinda. But you can buy one of these, plug in it and its better than an SD Card.

Here's what I use on my ps4.

Personally i use these

handy small and easily lost(its a feature not a bug)

but seriously great drives.

Crutchfield.com.

$100 will get you a head unit with Bluetooth audio streaming (typically with Pandora support as well), USB port, AUX port, CD player, installation guide, mounting hardware, and wiring adapters. All you need is a Saturday afternoon, a soldering iron or crimping set, and a screwdriver. I was amazed at how such a small change, going from CDs to USB (I did this several years ago before Bluetooth was really affordable), could make me so much happier in/with my car. Heads up though, since the USB ports are on the front of the stereos, make sure to get one of those little USB drives that don't stick out two inches.

Any funky messages in the syslogs via CLI? The GUI is very limited in what toy can gleam troubleshooting wise.

​

Are you booting from USB or the same drive as the datastore? imho. Move the host/boot to a USB and then move the guest to another HDD.

This is what I use as the USB boot for my R415 and my R710

32gb Micro USB

can someone help me check these two links, they both sell the same thing but amazon insists that one is newer and another older? I tried to find on google but I can't seem to see the updated version compared to the older version, if you have any information can you please explain to me? The price difference is little but I still want to know what I am paying that extra dollar for

old

new

The same one in 32gb

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGTG41W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It was $10 shipped. If I can get music in my car for $10 worth every penny.

I have something like 130gb of music on my computer from years and years ago all of it rated in iTunes and a whole bunch of smart playlists based around those ratings and 32GB is enough to fit everything I've rated as 4 or more stars.

I bought on of these guys: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGTG41W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got the 32 GB version on sale for 8 bucks.

Even so, I haven't run into any space issues on my CB14. I use the USB stick mostly to host my chroots.

I'm using a SanDisk Ultra Fit which isn't on their list but I could have sworn I saw people mention it in other threads. The other two I have are old garbage so maybe I'll just buy another, but I'd think the UltraFit would be new enough to work.

Yeah, it’s just messy sometimes having to download it from the cloud. Depending on the speed of a hotel Wi-fi. Someone in the DJI group mentioned these to me which seems to do the job I was after.

I might just bite the bullet and bring my laptop.

SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive 128GB for iPhone and iPad, Black/Silver, (SDIX30C-128G-GN6NE)

I was afraid of that. Might give one of these a try and see if they're viable seeing as they were designed to support lightening. Wasn't ready to update iPads just yet.

i’m sorry, i should’ve said USB drive and not hard drive! i was a little frustrated while writing that lol.


https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-iXpand-iPhone-Silver-SDIX30C-128G-GN6NE/dp/B01CIEBXZG

here’s a link. another person on this sub said they use it and they like it but i can’t get it to work!

I'm not too sure if you're limited to what you can transfer to the USB. Right now I'm using this USB (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017DH3NOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ivMBybBF4HMFQ) However if you like the idea and are willing to shell out an extra $30, this one is probably a better investment (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZ0X55C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hxMByb13J26FV)
Sorry for just the links and not hyperlinks, I'm on mobile right now.

Well see, this is the thing about the MBP's butterfly keyboard, it's like no other keyboard I've ever used before. The keys have a decent amount of space between them, at least for a laptop, but the keys themselves are so low, so flush to the case, I just don't get how dust/crumbs/etc actually even gets in under the keys tbh. Only way I can see stuff getting in is when you press the key, so you'd have to already have stuff laying on/around the key waiting to get in when you pressed it for something to get under the key.

It's not like a desktop keyboard where you drop something on it and it just disappears between the keys, you can easily wipe/blow off whatever you dropped on the keys off without having them suffer as long as you don't press the affected keys themselves and (obviously) whatever you dropped wasn't liquid. (I've had to do this, accidentally spilled some crumbs from morning toast on my keyboard very early on, was deathly scared I had just killed my keyboard but I just blew them off with a can of compressed air).

I too am using my MBP for programming and I love the keyboard. I sort of miss having an actual physical escape key and function keys, but I've slowly gotten over it. Don't mind having only C ports, got a sandisk dual flash drive one side C the other A, and a portable hub from alldongles.com and I'm totally set.

Is this a good deal on a usb 3.0? SanDisk SDDDC2- https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EZ0X55C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8ailDbQ54908Z

This flash drive I can't tell you how many times it has saved butt

i had no issues using this drive https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-128GB-Type-C-SDDDC2-128G-G46/dp/B01EZ0X55C with a Samsung phone to clear out the corrupt files with the default usb browser that opens when plugging in with the usb-c side. Then just flip it back to usb-a and plug back in the car. If it helps, I'm also using this drive with a splitter sharing with the Nomad wireless charger as well as using the 2 partition method for using this one drive for dash cam + music.

I would recommend something similar to this (below) if you need to make use of a 128GB+ USBkey/drive:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MU8TZRV

• Advertised Read Speed: 420 MB/s
  
• Advertised Write Speed: 380 MB/s
  
  Some amazon reviews (in the link above) have it benchmarked, the top review has a crystaldisk benchmark screenshot with Read: 368 MB/s - Write: 344MB/s.
  
  (yes this is 35x+ faster at writing than the OP link).
  
  There's a technology difference between "old" and "new usb drives (the new ones are basically tiny SSDs and thus the speeds are great). They cost a little bit more, but they're actually usuable for the amount of data you want to manage/transfer/use from the drive.

SATA To USB Converters run over the USB protocoll. USB 3.0 is an immensly powerful protocoll and i don't think any thumb drive will really be throttled by usb 3.0.

But in addition to the USB protocoll, a flashdrive also needs good memory modules to get good speeds. most flash drives seem to be stuck at ~100-150mb/s. But there are faster options. I got a SanDisk extreme that gets around 200-250mb/s. There are even faster ones like this: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-SDCZ880-128G-G46-Extreme-128GB-Solid/dp/B01MU8TZRV/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=sandisk+extreme+usb&qid=1556859955&s=gateway&sr=8-2
Most of the time, those flash drives are a bit more pricey.

Able to: Yes

Have to wait forever for loading screens and other operations that read/write from disk: Count on it.

If you are going to try it, i would suggest getting a fast USB like the Sandisk Extreme Pro and making sure you are using a usb3.0 (Blue) or USB 3.1(Red) port.

SanDisk SDCZ880-128G-G46 Extreme PRO 128GB USB 3.1 Solid State Flash Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MU8TZRV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2iaNDb5RK4W8T

Yes. Some SanDisk are bad.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MU8TZRV

This one works fine. Super fast too. Although NVME is faster.

Not to phone, to a high speed usb 3.0 drive like sandisk extreme pro, with the OTG adapter that comes with the S8. Gets better speeds than an SD card.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HR7FWUC/

Or slightly faster:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MU8TZRV/

it could be the case of write speed or it could be something else causing to not even start recording due to immediate corruption, cant say I have tried that type on usb/sandisk but I hope I can keep gathering information so I can provide the best option for owners to use without having to keep playing with different USB drives like its a deck of cards.


Edit: I'm talking with some guys that dabble a bit and they suggest for long term use Sandisk 128GB or 256GB USB 3.1 Solid State Flash Drive should be very well suited but what it comes down to would be if Tesla would have USB 3.1 ports in the front section to support the fast write speed that the aforementioned can handle. In the model 3 manual it talks about the rear ports being 2.0 and no mention to what the fronts are. Assuming the front are the same do they plan on it being retrofitted with 3.1 ports.


if they keep adding more cameras into the mix how would they address that (potential?) bottleneck

Edit 2: front USB is a 3.0 port so that's good news.

Could you recommend me a small flash drive that's pretty fast and tiny or are those the best I can get? I might just get the 128gb version of my old drive haha. Would this be even faster than the other two? And is this about as good? I don't need to have a 3.1 port in my PC to be able to sustain those speeds, do I?

I am highly leaning towards the Samsung Bar Plus 128GB USB 3.1 or Kingston Data Traveler 128GB USB 3.0 and I am worried about the speed. The Samsung 3.1 USB has a read speed of only 300 MB/s for USB 3.1, although I can't take advantage of the 3.1 right now, shouldn't it be much faster read speed or am I thinking of the write speed?

If you're looking for a good price on a large flash drive, this 128 GB metal (gunmetal or silver) Samsung drive is only $28 right now (Amazon prices fluctuate quickly):

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Bar-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/B07BPK3XWW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538316549&sr=8-3&keywords=samsung+128GB+flash

I would recommend any USB drive that has the normal thumb drive size, has a USB 3.0 interface, is formatted to FAT32, and comes from a reputable company like Sandisk and Samsung.

Here's one with a metal casing for good heatsinking:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/B07BPK3XWW/

this is the one I use due to heat during summer.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/B07BPK3XWW/

That makes sense.

I was actually looking at this https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/B07BPK3XWW/

In the heat of Summer, is that ever an issue at all? I live in Texas!

Yes.

I bought a hub and it won't work on that, but it has been working fine when directly plugged into the Tesla USB port. No dropouts or anything.

I have this:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/B07BPK3XWW?th=1

Thanks.

I also saw these as being recommended, but I'm not seeing how they'd be different from my original thought...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BPK3XWW

So it's definitely legitimate, and I'm certain the write speeds are good enough since I bought [this flashdrive from Samsung.](http://www.Samsung.com/ MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus 64GB - 200MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zYDmDb6119HSZ)

I tried another 4gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, but that too did not work (dashcam icon did not appear when I inserted drive).

A nice fast 3GB/s NVMe SSD would be six times faster than a SATA SSD. I'd recommend at least 1TB; 2TB for room to grow. It will give the most immediate and thorough performance gains. Unfortunately to get the most out of it, it'll have to be the system drive, which means a reinstall of the system.

Get a Windows 10 Pro key from eBay from a good seller with 99/100% feedback and lots of sales for like $5.

Buy a 300MB/s 64GB flash drive from Amazon for $15: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4

Set up the flash drive with Windows 10 Pro: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Disconnect the old drives and hook up the new NVMe drive by itself. Install Windows 10 Pro. With the fast flash drive and NVMe system drive, it'll take like 5 minutes to go from booting the install to the desktop. It's so fast.

Once it's installed, shut down and hook the old drives back up again to copy over what he needs, but they'll be very slowwww compared to the new drive. Use the old drive(s) for backups or cold storage.

Yes, it would still work fine. You may be able to find an even smaller one if you don't need USB-C. I saw some folks discussing this one from Samsung. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7P4SY4 If you search the subreddit for "dashcam" and "flash drive" you'll find some more discussions. I'm sure someone else will chime in here soon too!

I run FreeNAS on an HP DL380 Gen9 server and I just use a Samsung 32GB flash drive to host FreeNAS so all of my storage can be dedicated to storage. If you have a USB3.0 port on the device, this is a very cheap ($9.00) and simple simple way to do it.

Zero issues (1 month+) with this Samsung 32GB. $9.

No issues here with this Samsung drive and "lock on walk away" enabled.

I have been using this usb splitter on my model 3: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013XGK53E/, its been working very well for me. Also make sure you use a fast usb drive ( I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7SX9NS/ and have had no issues). Don't think you need the data blocker that other people have noted, but it definitely does not hurt.

The thought on a microsd is that this is a pretty low form factor and not likely to put any stress on the port of fall out.

I suppose something like the Samsung Fit could do similar though.

I'm Primarily apprehensive about cheap flash drives as I've had bad luck with them failing and becoming unreadable.

I considered a SSD, but I'm using one of these Samsung Fit 32gb with the understanding that it will eventually die and I will need to spend $10 every year to replace it.

I just ordered this one:

You could even buy one of these too boot off of. I experimented with it for a few days. Its not quite as fast as the SSD but works much better than the SD card.

I mean something like this vs something like this From my understanding you can purchase an HD USB stick and a SSD USB stick, is that wrong? If so why is there such a large price difference when both are 3.0 and use the same storage?

Yes, but my drive died, found out that the internal is the same as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JN1TOHM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and replaced it. Just snapped right in.

I been using Asus Oplayer with moore services for year. it aging and he stutter a 1080 movie with a lot of movements more and more.

I got Firestick(not TV) and rpi2.

Rpi2 run much faster than Firestick. after I figure out SD card is slow.

If you end up going with rpi2 get a fast USB stick load the Kodi on.. SD card is slow as useless. May be there are other SD cards that work better.. I got this one and sucked. So I went with this.. it install fast and very fast UI.

You'll still need SD card to boot the pi. I use OSMC and it have option to install to USB stick.. All you do is use their program, tell it you want to install on USB Stick. The OS and image will be loaded on SD card.

Install Stick on rpi2, install SD card on rpi2 and boot and let it do it thing.

They should put mSSD slot on next version of pi.

You can get a 64GB Flash drive for $25

I bought the below Samsung stick so wouldn’t really call it cheap and it definitely meets Tesla’s requirements.

From everything I've read USB 3.0 is fine if you stay under 64gb. I followed a guide online and grabbed this one. I used a guide I found online and it worked for me.

Gamecube is easy to load from SD with USB Loader GX.


I think you can check into WiiFlow about loading wii games from SD. I am pretty sure USB Loader GX can't load WII from sd cards. It doesnt work for me anyways.


I am loading my wii games from USB stick. Even an 8gb usb will work but you have to load 1 game at a time.

You could probably load 2 regular size wii games on that stick its 4$ skip lunch or a couple energy drinks. or 1 coffee or something.

Wouldn't a flash drive work?
