One of these took me through university in 2002
I really miss the hardware read only switch.
Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.
32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.
This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB
These days I carry one of these on my keychain.
Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write
I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.
