I am the proud owner of an 8MB IBM branded DiskOnKey flash drive.
Plugging it into my linux system, it throws a lot of errors, but I do have a ext2 filesystem on it. I can mount it and find the little 'hello world' text file I put in there last June :)
- PurpleRamen 4y ago8 MB..and here I'm sitting, filling a whopping 1 TB USB-storage with ISO-files for live-system, most probably bigger than a whole PC had available, at the time DiskOnKey was sold. That was just 20 Years ago. It's those little things which reminds me of how insanely fast technology moved in my lifetime. Who knows where we will be in 20 years...
- antod 4y agoI had a couple of those IBM 8MB drives - they were a lot larger (physical size) than anything since. I didn't even know USB storage was a thing until they included them in the box with some Thinkpads. Compared to floppies they were amazing in terms of speed, capacity and convenience.
