Before my reboot of this blog, I had a posting where I waxed nostalgic about the progress of mobile storage, in the form of USB thumbdrives. Essentially I had a “I remember when I was young…” kind of thing. I also had a photo of my then current crop of USB thumbdrives. Here it is again, in case you forgot it:
From left to right: 128MB that I got as a christmas present back in ’04, then two 512MB units, the grey one is a 1GB unit and the black farthest to the right is a 4GB unit which at the time was bought dirt-cheap.
That was almost a year ago, and just a few minutes ago I felt an update was needed so I whipped out some memory and took a photo of it.
From left to right: A 1GB Micro-SD that I have very little use for. It used to be in my R4DS but I replaced that with a 2GB unit instead. The 16MB Nikon Compact Flash is just for laughs. Then there’s the 128MB PNY-stick and the two 512MB units. The 1GB is missing since I gave it to a friend. Then the black 4GB Kingston, a 4GB SanDisk and finally a whopping 16GB Kingston which is my newest addition.
Fun fact: The neckstrap attached to the 4GB Kingston Datatraveller is the same strap that I got with the 128MB PNY. It’s even labeled PNY but has survived numerous sticks.
En fin samling gamla minnen. 16MB är ju inte mycket att hänga i granen nu, men då var det ju det (början på 90-talet) utvecklingen går ju framåt som tur är.
16MB-kortet följde med min första digitalkamera. Alla såna minneskort är ju högst symboliska, men det var kul att behålla. Jag har även en (oöppnad) 32MB SecureDigital som följde med min nuvarande digitalkamera, samt ett 16MB xD-kort som jag fick på nåt vänster.
