My homemade 44 port USB flash drive holder.


Recommended Posts

Today I designed and made a 44 Port USB flash drive holder.  This is to replace that multi-port Hub I bought a while back to do the same thing.

 

I don't know about you but I have a lot of USB flash drive now I have a place to put all of them.

Random thought.  Where did you find 44 other devices with female USB ports you didn't mind tearing apart?

Ebay.  Got 100 of them first like $10

patent it -- then sell to Google

or wait a week and apple will bring it out as the next best thing in white, gold and black and charge $5000 and then charge you for stealing the idea from them! :p

In case anyone is wondering, i'm still using this.. 

Sorry if it is a stupid question, but does it do anything? Or is it just a place to plug in all your USB keys that you aren't using so that you know where they are when you need them?

Doesn't do a damn thing :D .. just a spot to plug in all your usb devices so you can find them.

Mine just disappear into a draw. I only use USB for OS/software installs now and even that I'm moving more and more to the cloud. 

 

I have 3/4 32GB sticks, pretty much all I need.

The white ones on the bottom left, have write a protection switch.

What's that Belkin monstrosity in the back? ?

 

Out of curiosity, why don't you consolidate the drives into a few?

It's an old wireless G or N usb adapter. A lot of them are just spares with nothing on them. Most of the ones in the bottom left have Windows 8.1 and 10 setups.

I dont like a lot of extra junk laying around.  When I upgrade my flash drive, I make sure  everything from my previous drive can fit and then stop using it.  I got a 128gb drive now and when I start running out, I will upgrade and retire that one.

I collect novelty flash drives. I've got a transforming Ravage one, a Batman, a Matchbox style VW Beetle, an R2D2 ...

You have a dog one where its usb port looks like his....
