What type of Accessory storage do you like to use?

What type of accessory storage do you like to use with your laptop?

I use my 1 GB multiple times a day.

I find my external AC Adapter HDs to be very cumbersome since I need to find an outlet to use it.

 

I voted Other, because I use all 3. I have a flash drive 256MB Cruzer by ScanDisk. Then a laptop 20GB USB external HD runs off USB power. Also a 20GB desktop HD that I plug into the wall. I don't use the external HD's very much. The flash drive I use the most.

 

I use all three, regularly. I also use a SATA external enclosure, and a NAS.

 

i use flash disk most as I dont have external USB HD

 

I use my iPod shuffle =X

Works just as well as a thumb drive.

 

Yea... forgot to mention. I also use my 5GB creative zen micro as a flash drive for bigger files that my 256MB flash drive can't hold.

 

I have a 1GB thumb drive that has my slackware on it. I love bootable thumb drives.

 

i cant believe the drop in price for these devices, last summer i bought a sandisk 512 mb for around 70 after rebates, now you can get a 2 GB for the same price

 

I use mostly rw discs, DVD and CD depending on size of files

 

Does anyone use an IPOD for their storage? Just curious.

I changed my mind on the Western Digital Passport 80 GB USB HD. I didn't realize that I had 60 GB on the notebook, 50 GB on another external HD, and 15 GB on the 2nd external. The main advantage with the Western digital is that I wouldn't need a plug for the outlet since it is powered by the USB port. With 125 GB of HD space left, I couldn't justify getting another 80 GB.

 

Me three, I use a Creative MuVo 1GB mp3 player for storage somtimes.

 

I want one of the PQI U510's when they come out... they're so sexy!

 

I use a powered HD but it turns off my touchpad so I ended up using my 30gb sony HD music player.

 

I use my ipod nano 4gig. Easy to use.

And an external USB, AC powered encloser, as i just moved to a notebook and took a 250gig drive from my old desktop. Great for media. I guess the power is annoying, but my notebook is plugged in all the time.

 

I made myself an external drive - took my 80GB 5400RPM notebook hard drive out of my old notebook, bought a Vantec 2.5" enclosure, put it in there - USB powered. I use it for backups mostly.

For smaller stuff, I have a 1GB flash drive. Useful to take files between my desktop and laptop. Recieved it last week - my 256MB key was getting too small for the files I was transferring.

 

i have a 2gb sandisk thumb drive, a 40 & 200 gb external ( i have to switch them out of the enclosure) (needs to be plugged in) and a notebook hard drive enclosure that i need to get a hard drive for (usb powered)

pb,out.

 

I use a Western Digital MyBook 500gb...

 

I picked 'other'. I use FireWire disks for external storage (wondering why it wasn't a poll option??). I use an AMC Venus DS3R enclosure which holds two IDE drives and has hardware RAID0/1 support built in.

USB really sucks for external storage, it's soooo slooooooow. Just about every new laptop has a firewire port, so I always wonder why people choose the much-slower USB port for their external disks, particularly since many external disk enclosures also support both.

 

Picked up a Corsair Voyager FT 4GB a few weeks ago . . . Wow! It is fast, too!

I find myself carting my laptop about 50% less now! Using ReadyBoost with it too. Love the rubber protective coating and it is basically no bigger than the Chaptstick in my other pocket!

 

I USED to have a 4gb stick *sigh*, then it got corrupted
i use an 80GB external HD...via USB

 

i use thumb drives usb powered esata and data cds

 

i use the WD Passport HDD. i use it because you can have large storage capacities without having to use an ac adapter for power.

 

I use my Creative Zen Vision:M and a Seagate eSATA hdd at home.
