Is it worth getting a 128 GB thumb drive? I probably won't use 7/8 of that storage 99% of the time I use it. XD

 
its gotta be high speed if you're gonna get 128GB
imagine waiting hours to copy fullHD vids from your friend's computer.....
Check online benchmarks before getting any storage (unless you're just gonna store HW on it.)

My manga will feature one character (I'm still working on the name) who is almost blind but has almost perfect hearing and will probably use a pair of LCD-3s and STAXes.

 
Morpheous
 
Get those pics featured my boy!

I'll probably get the 64 GB one and wait around for other Black Friday deals. I was thinking of getting a USB 3.0 one and then I figured it's probably not useful for a thumb drive as opposed to an external hard drive.

I actually like my usb3 thumb drive more than any external HDD I've ever owned.
its more rugged, way smaller and faster.

Oh really? Hm, maybe I'll keep an eye out for one then.

Matt Murdock.
Or Ben Affleck.

but yeah, check the benchmarks before getting one.
Speeds of USB3 drives can vary anywhere between a few MB/s to a few hundred.

speed test of my Toshiba EXii: (this is the cheaper variation of the EXii with lower write speeds)

Bob Lennon.
 
The perfect name.
 
Jk... He'll probably have a Japanese name. It's set in Tokyo afterall.

Fair enough :wink:

Did you even get my incredibly subtle joke there?
Took me ages to come up with it.

I guess so, needed to look up to understand a bit more.
Ben Affleck played Dare Devil while Matt Murdock is the real name of Dare Devil amirite?
 
Rough sketch of page 1

Sorry for my poor handwriting. Will be retouched on photoshop later on.

Exactly.
I just had to point out the striking similarities.
Still laughing.
I hate myself.

That is one rough and promising sketch you have there.

Ugh, I'm still quite full from yesterday's fo2 wo1 (火鍋 hot pot) and now I'm going out for lunch with the family.

That's a lot of money for something you won't even really use.

Hot Pot is just the biggest mess of a meal ever. Tastes really good though!

Heh, I know right!
Hot pot last night was really fun though XD

At that price, better get two 64 GB thumb drives. Heck just buy one 64 GB it's more than enough for a thumb drive.

Also, imagine losing a 128 GB thumb drive.

I just couldn't.

BTW, I'm working on a manga project. The sketches for page 1, 2 and the cover for chapter 1 are done. Page 3 is almost complete. I'll be doing 1 page per week though I might try 2 or 3 pages per week.

Hm, that's a really good point. XD

And no I wouldn't be concerned about losing the thumb drive. The last time I lost one was 13 years ago in 5th grade. LOL

Get USB3. No doubt.
Even my flash drive that has 45mbps write and 70mbps read feels slow... 
 
  I may get an SSD for my MBP. Not sure if I should though

Do it! You haven't had the luxury of SSD storage yet have you?
 
It knows!

Lol, ain't it funny how the fortune cookies just know sometimes?
