Aileron Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 I've recently lost my old flash drive and needed to buy a new one today. The upgrade turns out to be 64 Megs to 2 Gigs, so I'm not too sad about that. The problem is that my new flash drive is about the size of a quarter (a Sony Micro Vault Tiny if you know that model). It comes with a rubber slide-in case that I *know* the thing is going to fall out after the case is worn out a little. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can keep from losing it? (The drive itself is 3 cm x 1 cm, and has no holes or rings with which to attach to a keyring. The case does, but I don't trust the case.)
rootbear75 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 keychain?almost all USB flash drives come with a little hole that you can attach onto your keychain or something?
Russky Posted October 2, 2007 Report Posted October 2, 2007 Stick it in your wallet with tape for extra security!
Aileron Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Posted October 3, 2007 rootbear, I explicitly stated that it won't go on a keychain. The drive itself has no rings or holes. The case can go on a keychain, but the drive is liable to fall out of the tape.

Russky Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 i didnt read the the ( ) sorrypunch a hole in it... Yeh punching a hole in it is probably not a very good idea!
rootbear75 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 Return it and get one with a hole for a keychain

Incomplete Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 Are you able to upload a pic of what your stick looks like and where you're plugging it into?
JDS Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Are you able to upload a pic of what your stick looks like and where you're plugging it into? gross.. Edited October 13, 2007 by JDS
Aileron Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 http://www.microdimensionsdirect.com/pictures/products/small/1829_0.jpg This isn't the actual size, but the real thing isn't much bigger. Those four prongs you see at the bottom are the USB port. The thickness of the thing is only a couple of millimeters. The flash drive is so small that it doesn't even have the standard aluminum casing around the USB plug.
Incomplete Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Able to tie it up with string somehow? like tie string around it to tie the other end to the top of the PC?
Aileron Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 Do you see a place for a string?
Samapico Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 make one just make a small incision on the plastic case on each 4 cornersjust enough so that a string could stay in the notch But the lego idea is much better Especially since your drive is so small, you probably won't need to remove everything on it
rootbear75 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 why the !@#$%^&* did you get something so small anyways?!
Aileron Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Posted October 13, 2007 It was on sale...apparantly nobody else wanted to get one. It is sort of secret agent like though...what looks like an ordinary lapel pin actually is casing for a miniature flash drive containing the telemetry of my secret death ray satelite. No holes allowed Sama...the inside is solid silicon chip.
rootbear75 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 It was on sale...apparantly nobody else wanted to get oneWhy do you think no one wanted to get it?? its kinda obvious, they didnt want to deal with the same problem ur having
Suicide_Run Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Probably was on sale or something lol How about super glue-ing a corner of the chip to a string?
rootbear75 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 How about super glue-ing a corner of the chip to a string?or super gluing it to the case
