Just before I left for Japan, I bought this 64 megabyte USB smart drive for about $50. While it didn’t have the biggest storage space (I think 128Mb was the largest at the time), it was the most reasonably priced, had a reasonable amount of storage space, and came with a USB extension wire that i still use today.
That was about 7 years ago.
This week, I bought a 8Gb Sony Pocketbit USM-J series USB drive for about $25. Like before, the new smart drive did not have the largest storage space but was very reasonably priced. It did not come with an extension wire. Plus I like the little LED light on the 64Mb drive instead of the dinky little light on the slider on the 8Gb drive.
From 64 megabytes at $50 to 8 gigabytes at $25 in less than 7 years’ time. Amazing.
