When it's time to remove this thing, do you need some pliers or a tweezer?

or.. tie string to it
attach the other end to a fast vehicle
and drive off at high speeds :)
but yeah it actually looks quite inconvenient.. unless there are little finger grooves

Heh - that looks awesome - now all I need is some form of 50 port USB array card with some kind of RAID controller, and BAM - Modular self expandable Super-SSD :)

I've been thinking about that kind of thing since I saw the first CF-IDE adapter :D

3ware's IDE controllers were the rage back then, as they were 1-drive per channel controllers. CF cards were getting faster, so eight of them would have yielded at least 100MB/s. Didn't have the money at the time to carry it out.

This nostalgic moment brought to you by: Jizzler and all the caffeine I had this morning.

Actually, it would be perfect for my PS3 to fill the horribly placed USB ports on the front! I could leave them in and they act as extra storage and act as dust caps. There really should have been 2 front and 2 in the back.

Such a tiny device, and only four GB less space than my laptop HDD has... if I remember, my first computer got a four GB HDD... how time passes.

dam lol i didn't know memory had advanced enough to have 16gb compacted into that lil plastic end. i'd def lose it, but i can see this being very useful to note/netbook users that don't want a 1.5-3" object sticking out of a USB port waiting to get broken off.

Well for a laptop where documents are the most important, you don't even need that much. For a desktop then of course you need more. Obviously they did not make this with the intent for large backups. It's a small footprint gadget for small jobs! Perfect for a laptop.
