I got this one as a promo piece with a P4 Northwood laptop I bought back in 2001. It was quite useful at the time, being much larger than any other comparable flash drive that was available - a 256MB CF card would have set you back around $110 or so from a reputable dealer.

I don't have anything capable of reading this anymore, so whatever is on it shall remain a secret. A new 512GB flash drive from Microcenter is shown for comparison, and it was $40.

One day the flash drive will fail and whatever is on it will be lost. The data on that HDD can still be recovered if it fails.

The flash drive was purchased with the understanding that it is ephemeral. A new one will replace it in a few years.

The price point for a flash drive this size was unheard of just a few years ago. Micro Center gives away 32GB units regularly as coupon promos.
