DIY 4GB USB Drive
Posted by Jeff June 25, 2006
Recently, I was in the market for a 4 gig SD card. I have a Thinkpad Z60m: the Thinkpads feature an accelerometer to watch for sudden movement and suspend the hard drive. No podcasts on the train for you, buddy.
Built-in SD card reader solves that problem. $84 buys a 4 gig card from Newegg (my preferred vendor). I picked this one due to its good reviews and distinctive pink color — should make it hard to lose when it’s not in the laptop.
The fun part is, for $10 you can get add an Ezonics SD2GO USB reader which takes an SD card. Elana now carries this in her purse to offload digital pics to her Macbook. It’s small enough, she always has it with her - making it easy to offload photos.
