Whats the highest capacity USB stick you have used?

I'm looking for alternatives since I have filled up my old sandisk 128gb. I spotted this on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-256GB...+usb+drive+256

256gb. My current stick gets really hot and I'm wondering if I should just go with something that doesn't have to be as compact.

Wow... amazing how small they can make storage devices now!

I want one. Not a terrible $50 investment if you actually use the thing and dont lose it.

Good purchase, Id go for it.

I occasionally use a 250GB external drive, one powered by a USB cable. Not formatted to FAT32 or anything, still using NTFS file system and has worked fine for both music and videos.

In this thread the OP uses a 1Tb hard drive, not a pen drive but I can’t see why a smaller pen drive wouldn’t work?
