Free is indeed good but let's see how many of them actually spin up!

[starshooter10]

8 of them are good =-D

the ninth looks like it was dropped from 25 feet up >.<

the other has a bend IDE pins and im yet to fix that and test

Scary thing is they already came up with Flash Disk Drives with capacities over 60GB (64GB selling for $2K+), so a few years more those drives will be like giant Flash drives from hell...lol.

I have a Jumbo USB drive with 2.2GB capacity that looks huge compared to regular thumb drives and it is only slightly bigger than a zippo!

[Gizmokid2005]

LMAO!! You are behind the times TL. I just got my second 4GB flash drive, and it's no bigger than the old ones that used to be a whopping 32MB.

I have a miniSD 2GB flash card the size of a dime for me cellphone/PDA. Times have changed, at home I have a couple 512K and 4MB Compact Flash cards the size of some cellphones today and costed $100-300 when I bought them. This 2gb miniSD card was $17.

sounds like something to add to your HDD collection

Just for gigles I am looking for an IDE to USB2 convertor so I could convert my old 8-20GB drives into giant Flash Drives and perhaps weld a ring to one corner and hang it in my keychain!
