I recently bought a bubble-pack with 2 x 16G for C$9.99+tax
If it fits on a DVD it will fir on a 8G USB. How much would one of those cost?
For me, the intangible cost of the physical media is an excessive burden. Negative USB stick characteristics include:
1-non-uniform size 2-non-uniform shape 3-no reasonably convenient filing cabinet paradigm for storing them in some kind of order
I use a Twining English Breakfast Tea tin :-)
4-no place to write on them enough about what they contain
I use card labels attached to a string, bought by the hundreds. Amazon has them surely. https://www.amazon.es/Etiqueta-Rect%C3%A1ngulo-Cart%C3%B3n-Precio-Blanco/dp/B00ESBJTV8/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1550687337&sr=8-18&keywords=etiquetas+de+carton https://www.amazon.es/paquetes-etiqueta-azul-hilo-medidas/dp/B00C6ZJI7I/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1550687449&sr=8-13&keywords=etiquetas+de+carton+apli
5-questionable reliability (how much must one spend to get what was advertised or needed?) 6-easily "misplaced" 7-rewritability impedes the what, if anything, to do with it next decision process (e.g. keep vs. discard; which recycle bin does it belong in vs. paying a recycler to take it vs. landfill fodder)
Electronics recycle box at supermarkets here :-p
OM surely have foibles, but I'd rather them than USB's. Attempts to sell USB as an alternative to OM are annoying.
