If they made the data drives more widely available I'd probably still be using one today. They're effectively CD-RWs with a built-in case.

I think they topped out at around 250/500MB, though. Not exactly a lot of room. You’re probably better off with a thumb drive.

Hi-MD went up to 1gb. UMD, used in the PSP, went up to 1.8gb.
