They still are??? Tons of people still use them
I‘d like to meet the people that use 8GB thumb drives in 2023. All 3 of them actually.
BEHOLD!
The entirety of South America
I use 8gb thumb drives! They're what's in my miscellaneous drawer and I haven't needed a larger one
The guy above you was obviously being disingenuous. I use 8gb thumb drives to organise my jobs and hobbies. All the work I need for Job A is on Drive A etc.
So there's got to be at least ten of us. Maybe even twenty!!
You can get a bunch of fairly reliable 8GBs cheap from the right places, I use them for boot media or installers or "man it'd be really nice to move a file from here to there without much thought" scenarios
Hello I am using them! Well actually I don't even have bigger than a 4GB. But mostly I use my big box of 508MB usb sticks they do their job fine because rarely I need to transfer something that needs to be together so I just use like 3 or four when I am lazy.
I still use 8gig, but for work. If I'm giving this away with three docs on it, I'm buying them in bulk and trying to get them cheap
