      I bought a 5-pack of 8GB USB drives for making live USBs, many years ago it feels like, and have somehow managed to hold onto all of them. I tend to use Green and Black the most for file transfers and they have started to fail pretty regularly but I can’t throw them out, they’re a family. Funnily enough Purple, the one that got assigned “Permanent Ubuntu Live USB” duty and has seen more than its share of writes, is still rock solid.

      i had a usb from 2016ish-19, so i was using a university school computers for writing resumes and applying to job sites, plus, and sneaking in a game installer, since the school computer blocked it that the time the usb bypasses it.
