what's the smallest form of solid-state media you still have? What about the smallest one you still use?

Just curious if anyone still has an old 16 MB flash drive or 4 MB compactflash card laying around, and if anyone still actually uses anything like that

@Felthry I don't have it any more, but I think the smallest storage device I ever had was a 256MB usb drive...

@Felthry 128gb micro SD, for my dash cam.
I agree with Randall Munroe that it's a bit spooky.

@starkatt That's physically small, but I'm asking about data-size small!

@Felthry Still *have* would be some 5 1/4" floppies from my Commodore 64/128 days that I have for sentimental value and so my Next Generation fanfic can never fall out of my control where innocents might encounter it. So, 170 kb.

Still *use*, well, I've got an 8 MB USB drive in the emergency pocket of my messenger bag, used for when I have to get a file to Kinko's or off the library computer or something disposable like that. Not used much, but it's got a role and can expect to be used so.

@Austin_Dern I wouldn't consider floppy disks solid-state though!

i probably could have made the post clearer

@Felthry Oh and there's whatever miniature-size flash card is in my camera, but I can't check that easily because the drive slot is under the battery cover, and I have that duct-taped shut because the hinge broke and it's not worth replacing a camera for *that*.

@Felthry I have a 16 MB SD card lol (though I don't use it)
