But it should be 4gb each, yes it should.

Still, nice thing. Because I'm too less of a geek to know how to make multiple Boot disks possible on a single stick with multiple partitions or so. If one knows, I'd be happy. (can i do it with grup from linux, or so? I have no clue).

still, it would be a nice stick, as one can physically chose what one wants.]]>Jul 24th 2009 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/Jul 24th 2009 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/Jul 24th 2009 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/Jul 24th 2009 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/
Though their confirmation email lets you know that they haven't even been manufactured yet, so I can only imagine how long it will take before you receive one, if ever. ]]>Jul 24th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/
I would think that would be the obvious choice. This would prevent those annoying dot (.) files and folders.

If you sandwich 49 of these 'double-sided' drives in between a pair of these 49 port USB hubs mentioned yesterday... you could make yourself a literal "RAID capable, 3D storage cube" ! :-)

but I still can't see the usefulness of this. So I'll try to think of some:

-Carry two flash drives as one.

-For music devices that accept USB as input. One side could be peaceful music, the other would be hype up.


uhhh that's it... i mean, why the need to restrict access to two flash drives?]]>Jul 24th 2009 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/Jul 25th 2009 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/split-stick-double-sided-usb-drive-keeps-personal-private-matt/ personal, flip the drive -> work.
