Buzz Out Loud Lounge: How much storage do you carry on your person?
How much storage do you carry on your person?
by christianboy65 - 9/8/06 4:33 AMI just recently started toting a 20 GB 2.5" external hard drive around in addition to everything else I carry daily. It made me wonder what all the devices and gizmos on my person (not counting laptops) add up to in terms of storage. So let's see:
20 GB HD.
60 GB iPod.
2 GB Xacti
256 MB Treo
Total: 82.256 GB. Nifty! How about you?
Gig Index
by tony10r10 - 9/8/06 7:02 AM In reply to: How much storage do you carry on your person? by christianboy65What do we call this number? I vote for "Gig Index".
512 MB in an SD card in my smartphone
128 MB onboard the phone
128 MB flash drive
256 MB flash drive
512 MB flash drive
Then there is:
60 GB IoGear USB hard drive
80 GB hard drive in my laptop
So then, 141.5 is my normal daily GIG Index.
you must have saggy pockets, or, dare i say it, a belly bag!

Down with belly bags. Or, sometimes called a** purses.
2.5 Gig

I remember when it was so cool to carry a 1.4 K floppy in your dress shirt pocket (right next to the 7" wide necktie).
My floppy had a lable with two hand-drawn sneakers on it.
(do you-all know why the sneakers?)
Sneaker-net is the term....

You had people carrying around floppy disks in order to move data from one PC to another. That means the "transport layer" of all this data moving back and forth was the sneakers on the feet of the people carrying the disks in their pocket. So, it was called the "sneakernet".
So the disk I had dedicated to carrying in my shirt pocket had sneakers drawn on them.
1.12 GB
by ecribbin - 9/8/06 9:57 AM In reply to: How much storage do you carry on your person? by christianboy65I carry 1GB inside my Supercard DS
And a measly 128MB in an old USB flash drive
(NT) Why do you need to carry a HD every day?
by dominiej - 9/8/06 1:00 PM In reply to: How much storage do you carry on your person? by christianboy651GB to 5GB to 65GB
by Dhalgren - 9/8/06 1:53 PM In reply to: How much storage do you carry on your person? by christianboy65I always have my 1 GB USB drive in my pocket. If I'm carrying my Nano (more often than not), that's another 4GB but I only use it for music and podcasts, not file transfer. Finally, If I have my backpack (normally if I'm going to work) I will have my 60GB 2.5" hard drive in a USB 2.0 enclosure (I use this mostly for transfering .ISO files around ;-])

by shawnlin - 9/8/06 2:37 PM In reply to: How much storage do you carry on your person? by christianboy65in the office, I've got a basic 128Mg USB flash drive.
Personal stuff: a 512Mb and 1Gb USB flash drives. And a 30 Gb iPod if I need it to be a storage device. When I'm traveling, I've got the iPod as well as one or both USB flash drives (just in case).
