Hi,
I've been using a 4gb flash drive (s*ny micr*vault) for the past 6 months or so.
It was great because I move between my desktop and laptop and travel a lot so I can just plug in and work wherever I am.
However, it was not that sturdy, got bent and tweaked and now just died...
The stick design is sensible since it has to slide in between all those other usb devices, but also part of the problem on a laptop where it got bent if it was set down incorrectly. And the plastic casing was just weak anyway.
I did back it up a couple of weeks ago, but still have a minor gap in my files which does slow me down.
What should I do? Get a new one - any brand/style rec's or are they all the same?
Or is there a better way to keep track of my files?
