Long gone are the days when we carry around 3.5″ floppy disks for copies of important documents and files. Even CDRWs are seldom used as well. It’s now mostly flash drives and portable HDDs.
Our poll this time asks how much portable storage do you carry around. USB flash drives are very cheap nowadays and have become a staple giveaway.
There are other types of micro media too like SD cards, CF, Memory Sticks and such. I have a total 7GB (4+2+1) of USB flash disk, 8GB (4+2+1+1) of Compact Flash and 2GB of miniSD. That does not even include iPods and other portable music/media players that double as a portable hard drives.
So, how much portable storage do you carry around? Send in your answers in our poll.
I always carry the ff. items/devices with portable storage:
1.) 80gb Maxtor Portable HDD
2.) 4gb FlashDrive/FlashDisk
3.) Nokia N82 w/ 4gb MicroSD
4.) Nokia N91 4gb

I have a 2gb flash drive but don’t use it that much, 512mb-1gb would be enough for my very basic needs. I burn a lot of dvdr’s though.
I remember buying a 256MB MMC for 2k+ back in 2005!
I have a 120GB portable HDD that I carry with me always when I got to work.
Just the same as Mark Above. Since we’re on the same field. Although I don’t cater to Celebrities yet (I hope Mark outsources some to me he he he) Anyways as for the poll I voted more than 8GB of portable storage, I carry around most of the time about 20GB at least and 350Gig at most. Not on my list are the default storage of my computers which amount to about 1Tera.
In my wallet I have two 2 Gig SD Cards. In my camera pouch I have another two, on my neck a 2gig Imation thumbdrive, and on my car a modified laptop HDD hot plug which is about 80gig. Add to that when I go for a long trip I bring along my Seagate 300Gig portable external.
Now i feel like a portable storage myself. I am just too paranoid losing data, I still keep all my college HDD’s when it got full.
Maybe it depends on a persons job and needs…
