When some friends come back from China, they bought a bunch of kingston pen drives that were all the have. 8Gb was the largest one at the time... they got the 8Gb for like $5 each. of course it could only store 256mb... playing later with it i noticed that the chip would max out on the number of sectors when asked. so i had a bunch of pen drives with 9.9TB partitions, which was the maximum i could partition with my kernels.
