On Monday night, I ordered an 8GB flash drive from Best Buy. I saw it was only $10 on sale, and I thought it was quite the steal. Using a leftover $7 on a gift card, I dropped the total to just under $3 with free shipping. I paid for it and waited. I got home today, and there it was! I opened it up to a surprise when it comes to size.
That is the Sandisk Cruzer Fit. It is about the size of the end of a finger, as pictured, and the USB portion makes up nearly the entire actual drive. I've found that removing it from a USB port is an extremely difficult and pain inducing task for the fingers, since getting a grip on that small bit of plastic is insanely difficult. I tried a USB extender, and it still isn't so simple, since the end of it is somewhat encased. The only upside is that I can more easily grip the entire visible portion of the drive, and jiggle it loose.
Any suggestions for making it a bit easier on myself, you know, besides having it become a permanent piece of the USB extender? If not, it isn't a huge deal. I'll just build some calluses and get past the inconvenience.
