USB thumb drives

Those thumb drives are fantastic. I bought one three years ago and it's still working even after having been through the washing machine twice. I use mine both as a way to transport data and to backup files. It's really come in handy for me when a professor says I didn't hand something in and I can pop the drive into their computer, show that the file was created before the assignment was due, and hand it in all right there.

I'd also suggest on getting a flash drive over a harddrive based one since there're much much more durable and odds are you won't need to keep more than 1GB on data on the run with you.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you're carrying music around you as might as well get a music player.

But if you want something that's more dedicated to work, low-priced, extremely durable, and as small as drives get then a thumb drive is probably the best bet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
