Phil O'Keefe Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Check out this article on dual connector USB thumb drives. http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/technology/the-usb-drive-of-the-future-is-already-here/ar-BBkE0or I wonder if we'll see a similar approach with computers as well as USB audio interfaces, peripherals and external hard drives, with both type C and type A connectors to help ease the transition period...

Members Nijyo Posted June 5, 2015 Members Share Posted June 5, 2015 Slightly related, but it's amazing how much storage they can fit in those things anymore. The low-profile ones that Kingston makes (and others) that are basically little nubs only an eight of an inch sticking out from the port can be gotten up to 128GB now I think. Crazy.

Phil O'Keefe Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 That is pretty nuts, isn't it? I've got a 32GB USB 3.0 SanDisk thumb drive that's a couple of years old now that I use to sneakernet files back and forth between my Macs and my PC when needed, and it's got all the storage I need for most tasks. I've been using Firewire and USB drives when I need more, but I might get another thumb drive with more capacity as the prices continue to fall... but if I do, I think I'll try to find one with both types of connectors so it will be useful further into the future.
