I paid $120 bucks for one of them flash drives dammit.
Affray
My buddy's dad keeps all of his tax/business records on floppies. "If anyone gets their hands on it they won't know what to do with it"
LuckyJynX
so smaller is better?
Daneasaur
I'm not gonna say that the need to stash your porn directly relates to save device size, but...
Janusha
I kinda miss those disks.
ILikeSciFi
Cheesus that can barely hold GarageBand for IOS
safirser
Just because: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f488uJAQgmw *sighs* Size matters!
Janusha
My camera now has a 500 gig card. Which is a million disks.

"Please insert diskette #24 to continue your installation of WIndows 95"
InnerUniverse
I almost miss the days when games came in muli-floppy installations. Then we started doing the same thing with CDs like we learned nothing.
IDIOTUS
I feel like this is some kinda hidden dick joke...
ODSTsRule
To think that my first 2 PCs had slots for them. Feels weird to have witnessed the rise of the internet and modern technology.
SQLdragon
those aren't floppies....(ok, yes, they're called that, but true floppies are 5.25", and actually floppy). how many Doctors still use them?
DireSickFish
We'll be in Shadowrun times before to long.
BlueskydragonFX
I still got my old Doom floppies.
Piperr
Meanwhile, im still working on getting my mom caught up on how to pronounce kilobyte. She calls it "the kay-bee one"
Orangemanrulesnot
It sucks being old. I have a ton of floppies (3.5 and 5.25). The 5.25s are harder to lose though. They don't fit in your pocket.
floppypancakes4u
Sadly, I still work with 5.25 on a daily basis
DoTheySpeekEnglishInWhat
This is only 5mb
housev1l
I remember paying sixty bucks for a 510mb flash drive years ago. If only I knew...
thefriendlyasshole12
Where did you find such relics?
Cheomesh
Clearing out a cabinet in the office last week, a coworker found a 5.25" floppy.
vagari
Someone needs to do this with a 128 GB micro sd card. The only reason I haven't lost mine is because it's inside my Switch.
ThatQuietlySmirking
I'll save you the time -- 89,000 floppies.
vagari
Well that would be a little extreme, I was thinking the same basic photo. Even smaller than the USB drive.
GlitchNDaSystem
That's cool that they 3D printed the save icon so many times for this joke
cyno01
You can get a 256gb micro sd card you could fit in your urethra in a pinch.

Dat satisfying "click" when you put it in doe

Even worse was the "Insert Disk 1. Extract ZIP. Insert Last Disk. Insert First Disk..."
cann0nfodder
Either Doom or Windows 95 came on 8 floppy disks. They were my toys as a child.
Cheomesh
I only remember my copy of Doom coming on 2 or 3 floppies...
txmount
Doom. Win 95 was either 13 or 26 floppies, depending on version. Win 98 was something like 47 floppies...
Cheomesh
I only remember my copy of Doom coming on 2 or 3 floppies...
chinablue
TRS 80 was mine, played the crap out of those games on the 8 inch floppys
rattlebone10
When my dad started in computers in the 60's. He says 128 gig wouldn't fit into our house.
MouseTheFooDog
My mom did some punch-card computing in college in the 60s. Crazy to think about the scale difference she's seen between now and then.
rattlebone10
My dad used punch cards too. He's still amazed at the size and especially the prices of Flash Drives.

There's more data saved on your jumper.

koltergeist
I think "jumper" refers to his sweater. It looks like static.
ChromeEagle
From where does this synonym originate? I've only ever heard "jumper" refer to the battery connectors and suicidal individuals.
hitlershairydick
Yes but why is that funny?
ShitLeopard420
It's looks like source code for computer commands and shit

Once upon a time, Bill Gates said that 640K of random access memory is all that anybody with a computer would ever need.
mikekearn
He didn't actually say that, though it does make a good story. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2534312
esctrl
Dunno which was a bigger waste. That paper, or those instructional books you read to learn how to use Windows.
Rengii
Lol do you actually believe paper can be stacked that high? It's obviously not a real photo.
esctrl
Duh.
RevivalOW
don't lie to me
BlueskydragonFX
The reason they drove a cord through.
Hungrypiemonger
which begs the question,...is there a pole under the second pile he's sitting on? and if so did it go up his bum bum?
gtotherizzle
My first flash drive was 256mb and cost me $25....you damb kids and your MTV video games
Thecogwheel
My first one was 1gb and cost me 55 bucks... I thought I had a deal back then
ToasterDent
My first flash drive was 32MB and I still have it.
Vyrro
Zima and pacman too
IwishIwasNeverBorn
That's cute
Cheomesh
The first one I ever *bought* was 64mb.
MichaelAndersen88
My dad have me two of those when I left for college in 06.
LatrineUsedToBeShitHouse
Zima, hulahoops, Dan Foggelberg, and Pac-Man video games. Kids today have attention spans that can only be measured in nano seconds!
CoderWithoutCaffeine
Mine was 256mb around 90 euros back in 2006.
idontwantagoodusername
I wish I could go back in time with a few terabytes hard drives and just make like all the bank
slinkydust
You could only go back maybe like 10 or 15 years because the file system wouldn't work. e.g. USB 3.0 would be worthless before 2008.
idontwantagoodusername
Usb 3.0 can still work on USB 1.0 ports Wich started production In 1994
whatthehellalltheusernamesaretaken
Mine was 128mb and cost $100. Was baller back then
Cheomesh
Mine was 64mb - don't remember what it cost, though. It was for passing patches at LAN parties
AlaskanHam
256MB for $75- 'what an astonishing deal' :P
NorthWestOutdoorsman
I bought a 4 gig flash drive with a lifetime warranty like 11 year back because how could guy ever need more.
GnarTown
I bought a 6 TB external hardrive. I have already used more than half...
Hyero
I keep 8 gigs and higher to use as a boot drive for my computers.

I actually bought one of those stupid IronKey drives with built-in hardware encryption.

"Wow 8G flash. How superfluous! 2G is good... but I will spoil myself with 4G just in case."
halborski
I still have my 64 Megabyte flash drive. I'm not sure why.
Corona688
Still good for carrying stuff around.
ZKrock
Backup for important word/txt files. Maybe a few pictures and a song.
ChromeEagle
So the song's front and back cover art.
justherefortheshitposting
Porn.
waltjrimmer
I still don't understand that. I've known people with full 3 terabyte drives of just porn. Nothing but porn. How? Why? You could never...
ohdearohdearohdeer
Oh my sweet summer child
Mavgurian
Why do we have a steam library full off stuff we never ... ?
ChromeEagle
Likely just batch downloads. "I want some stuff featuring this particular female", *acquires entire filmography because why not*.
justherefortheshitposting
I genuinely have no idea. I can't imagine anyone could ever hope to use that much even if they bated to something different every day.
Nephus
Batch downloads of multiple fetishes. When you masturbate all day everyday, you need a varied and fresh supply to keep things going.
AluminumMuffin
@AgentNSFW pls explain

HitlersRupturedColon
Damn right, i have 7.5gb and am constantly makig room for new porn
DoomSkuller
And now... You need more for even basic software that would've taken less than a gig eight years ago
bigbrothersbinary
Libre office is now over a gigabyte in size. ITS A FUCKING TEXT EDITOR, WTF!
johnsoninabox
So true. The original COD4, my favourite game, was 6.6gb in its original release in 2007. The remaster last year was 50.5gb.
bigbrothersbinary
Games are far from basic software. I was thinking about libre office being greater than a gigabyte nowadays.
MrSlushie
Those high quality textures make it all worth it I guess.
Fredfinks
in future: that game is 100TB? great & it will look great. That winzip type thing or adobe reader is 1TB? fuck that.
DoomSkuller
100TB? Great, I've got 16PB left
kelpsie
Too bad the internet connection at my house hasn't improved in 10 years, so I can't download new games ._.
UpvotesForAllUBeeches
Hit me up! I work for an internet company.

An internet company in Southern Ontario, Canada? Been trying to convince my grandmother to switch providers for years, she's too stubborn.

BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
yes?
fav605
I'm in the same boat. Just picked up another 4tb wd red.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
How ya like those reds? I've been losing faith in WD
fav605
No complaints thus far. Have only had the one for about 5 months. Yet to install the second.
IdreamofflyingbutIamjusttooafraidofheightstoevertestit
Shit, I just built a tower w/ large fan and solitary computer port so the 24tb on 8 seperate drives (nearly full) can be accessed at 1 time.
