  • Is it me or are there many unreliable USB flash drives?

    Yeah, very convenient for some situations like that and moving
    movies around like I do.

    That is what I wanted to and yet they die on me. Argh!!!!!

    No thanks. I find transferring files over a network to be *much* more convenient than lugging USB sticks with me wherever I go. My USB sticks
    are mostly used as macOS installer media. They sit in a drawer most of
    the time, just waiting to be used.

    Networks would be nice if they were fast and everywhere outside for
    huge data transfers. Also, I don't put every networked devices on the
    same LAN like foreign devices like from work, visitors, etc. :P

    My networks *are* fast. If I need to transfer gobs of data, I use a hard
    drive.

    Also, I don't put every networked devices on the same LAN like foreign devices like from work, visitors, etc. :P

    Seems silly.
