    I remember 4 years ago when I was in college, flash drives were all the rage, but then people kept leaving the drive plugged into the computer and walking away causing them to lose their work.

    My brother works for a pharmaceutical company, and he represents many different brands and his car is always full of these cheap 2GB flash drives that they give him to hand over to clients in the medical profession.

    I've had too many incidences of flash drives getting corrupt and dying on me, I have a habit of never disconnceting drives the way I should, going to taskbbar and ejecting the drive.

    I read this article on pcmech recently here http://www.pcmech.com/article/death-of-the-thumb-drive/

    Which raises some interesting questions, and provides some valid points, has anyone played around with "NAS" drives, are they as good as they claim to be?
