personalized thumbdrive expansion...more info inside
« on: Wed, 11 May 2011, 10:57:58 »
So my GF got me this nice engraved thumbdrive case but it's only 1gb and I was wondering if anyone could offer up some replacement internals that would fit inside the case. Pics for reference and size, the grid is a 1x1".



As you can see in the pic, the board itself is about 1"x.5". I don't need an enormous one, but having enough room to put a movie or other files and still hold my school things would be great. Thanks in advance guys

lol not sure what that is but I'll take two!

So I did some looking and I guess as long as I can crack the plastic case open, most drives will fit. What do you think the most bang for the buck is these days? 16gb?

I've got an Adata 16GB that's 3.0/2.0 and quite fast (don't have any 3.0 devices yet). It looks like the same generic size but I can't be sure.
It was about the best price (close) on NewEgg for $29.95.

pny 'netbook edition' flash drive would definitely fit inside, but may even be too small. i have one and its tiny, but the write speeds kind of suck.
