I have a couple of these. They are pretty cool, especially if you like Lego. :D

Nice but the capacity is too small.

I have been looking at the 128GB ones lately

The usb part of the stick retracts. It fits with regular lego. IT IS LEGO. How can you not want or love that??

The reason is that it is in my mind obsolete tech in an otherwise never obsolete object. I would rather have some tech bricks ;)

I propose a disk array backpack and a battery belt

Then one day while portaging your datacentre through Algonquin Park you are struck by lightning! *yeeeeeeeeooooooowwww!*

And thus the legend of DATA MAN was born

He fights his mortal enemy: CLOUD MAN

...except not all of Cloud Man couldn't make it, West Coast data centre failure plus a content NDA between US and Canadian servers meant you could know about him but not fight him directly

Also I'm pretty sure he'd be fighting Mega Man

Epilogue:
LINUX GIRL tried to mount his volume but alas their file systems were incompatible

He did manage to replicate his volumes before total failure and went off to work in the data mine as a backup. After 40 years he'd got damaged disks so they forced him to retire, and thus ends the tale of Data Man

WEEP NOT. FOR. DATA... MAN.
