You can always use a pendrive with enough storage to store your projects. Also, it's nice because you can carry it everywhere (I tell you from my experience, because I use to play ZDoom of GZDoom on the café with my pendrive).

128MB for (I think) £72 for me. I still have it though.

And in five years we'll look back and complain that we wasted our money on such small drives as 1GB!

I'm not so sure. While we're certainly getting to the point that 1 TB is affordable, 1 GB still holds a lot of information anyway. Typed documents, other school projects, older games... I think my thumbdrive will be useful for a very long time.

I bought a 1 gig Memory Stick Pro Duo for $70 two years ago. 6 months ago, I bought a 2 gig one for HALF the price.

I saw an ad for this huge electronic outlet place that was selling 1 gig flash drives for $1. That offer didn't last very long however and I didn't get one. :x

2 GB is enough for me. I don't see why someone wants to buy a TB USB drive, unless they want to have lots of movies in the drive.

1TB? That’s a lot of p0rn :trippy:.

I was recently interested in acquiring a 4GB mem drive for $20. Rather cheap and great for viewing movies on my 360 and working on zdoom projects on my laptop. However, I have been more interested in getting a 360GB portable hard-disk.
