Throughout the years I have used all kind of pen drives… many type of brand, small and big storage size and all kind of design.

Pen drive has many names… sometimes people call it usb drive… sometimes they called it thumb drive… or pen drive… or flash drive.. and so on… but it all referring to the same device… a portable storage… with huge storage size…

If I remember correctly, the first thumb drive I used was a 256 KB by Apacer… I think it was somewhere in 2003.

Then the storage size of these thumb drives grows… and it keep growing… until donno what size… And every time during any IT events, Promotional usb drive will always be the hottest item especially during IT Expo or sales… and its price can drop up to 50% or more of the retail price.

The biggest storage size of thumb drive I ever seen is a 128GB!!! And it cost somewhere around RM1,500.00 or USD$470.00 😮

Then, from the manufacturer’s website, the biggest storage size I can find is 256GB!!!… man… soon, we don’t have to carry those ‘gigantic’ 2.5” potable hard disk any more…
