Man, I really want one of these, not sure if anyone here has reviewed it yet but it'd be a perfect item to get on the review list. Thing looks simply awesome.

I cant really find what it's max capacity is or maybe I'm simply not looking hard enough.

I just have a stash of thumb drives for that. :P

It's always easy  to say why not just do  that and this however flashdrive are easily breakable and can only hold so much storage until you'll be paying big bucks.

The benefits of this is being able to just drag and drop any iso and have the ability to be able to load it on boot.

You can stick with your way and I'll just stick with a newer unique way. Oh and it's usb 3 so  you'd get the speed and the ease of loading operating systems without having to prepare it in any way or burning it to a disc.

 

It's also very useful to those who do not use dvd drives on their pcs.

I just bought one of these, I figured that while some of the reviews don't inspire confidence in the long term quality I see a VERY VERY VERY handy use for the to easily keep ISO images of all the various windows/Linux/Utilities that I use for my PC repair work on and speed up my time to update them.  I can use YUMI to do something similar with a regular external hard drive but it's a total pain sometimes and it just refuses to play nice with some ISOs.  Should be here Tuesday for me to pop a HDD in and give it a try :)
