    I remember when I got my first computer and I took computer classes to learn how to use it. The teacher told us to buy a floppy disk to save our work. The floppy disc only had the capacity to load 1.44 MB. When the first flash drive came out I bought a 64 MB and I was so happy about it.

    I have been using these drives for years to play music in my vehicles, they work better than satellite radio (no commercials and higher quality and no subscription) plus you can put a lot of music way more than you ever could with a CD (at the highest quality setting). I also use some for portable apps but for those I mostly use a regular portable drive (they are small enough and not expensive anymore unless you get over 2 TB solid state that is).
  • One thing for sure. No one can put ransomware on a flash drive whenever it is unplugged. My preference is external hard drives to back up my important files like photos and other critical files.

    I was just surfing around and I found your channel. What a godsend you are! Every single thing that you discuss in every single one of your sites is exactly what i need!!! Thank you so much!! LIKED, SHARED, SUBSCRIBED, AND NOTIFICATION IS ON!!
  • I've worked in IT for over 20 years and when seeing videos like this I hope to find at least one morsel of information that can actually be useful to users. OMG this video is one of those diamonds in the rough. 5 actual things of value that is not just clickbait. Excellent set of 5 functional options for old flash drives. Cheers Mate!
  • No such thing as In the olden days, USB DRIVES ARE THE BLEEDING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY. USB , hard disk , SSD , memory cards are great storage mediums. With their own practical use case. A cloud is someone else's computer. Don't let them own you.
  • I hardly ever use cloud files (except at work) and with flash drives memory getting larger and larger, basically I treat them as a small, compact easy-to-carry additional portable hard drives. Thanks for the hints. Some of them are reallu useful. :-)

    I knew most of this, but this was great and reminds me what I can do. I have a Kingston Data Traveler Drive made of metal with a keyring hole and is very compact.

    First of all ... new sub here. Secondly, this was one of the most useful videos I've seen in quite a while ... you managed to provide a huge amount of outstanding and useful information at a pace that even kept my attention from start to finish. So many content providers could really learn a lot from your format, presentation and content. Thanks much for what you do!! Cheers ...

    An advanced option is to create a variety of restore drives with the thumb drives. That can include a variety of repair and optimization utilities that are usually included.
  • Thank you Liron Segev. I just discovered you here on YouTube and I like the information you are sharing. It is very helpful, and fun discovering this information.
  • @A_Really_Realist
    CLOUD = 'Someone' else Computers.... 'ALWAYS' Keep that in mind.
  • @writerpatrick
    You can also use them for backing up files and storing them away. Likewise you can store a lot of music or video on them that you might no want to have cluttering up your phone but still want to carry around, say to play on your computer at work especially when your workplace doesn't want you to install anything on your work computer.

  • @MiaHessMusic
    I use USB drives all the time!!! I love them!! I never thought about putting my travel itinerary and stuff on a flash drive. Far out, great idea!
  • @audiovisual1943
    I love USB Flash Drives. Many of my friends keep telling me to stop using them and start using the Cloud. Not sure why they care what I use but I just ignored them. Now I can hit them with the info from this video! Lol. While watching this video I immediately became a fan. Thank you so much!! Looking forward in exploring your other videos. Take care.
  • Hiren's has saved my family's photos when my siblings accidentally them. I downloaded Hiren onto my USB and easily recovered the files from the parents' laptop. It runs so well even on a slow, old USB.
  • @wbarbosabr
    I know Hiren's CD for a long time but was not aware of Hiren's CD PE. Thanks a lot, dude!
