My first-ever USB pendrive was 256 megabytes, in 2003.
It was a godsend, because to that point I’d been using floppy disks. It was brushed metal and came in a little faux-leather carry pouch. I guess they figured it was so damn expensive, they should at least make it feel premium.
I’ve still got it, and it still works. Quite useful actually for random jobs like flashing the BIOS on old machines that refuse to read from anything too large, or too new.
I just got a 1tb ssd last month, and holy crap it’s the same price i got for 125gb 8 years ago.
Also i still remember the 8gb pendrive i got in around 2008, for that price today i can get 256gb storage with the size of my cat’s toe bean.
