2011-03-17 - Flash Drives Are All Assembled

Well, it's 4 in the morning after the conclusion of St. Patty's and i fly out tomorrow... but I managed to get all these little fuckers assembled. Woot! I'm working on the first 32 GB batch of content, editing is hard. But i want some in my carry-on in the airports for when i encounter traveling troops.

 

2011-03-15 - Flash Drives Have Arrived

2010-01-23 - The completed 3rd generation TTB

Here's the final version of the newest Traveling Terabyte. The size and weight of this latest package is nothing short of stunning, in my view. Barely over a pound, but containing over 5,000 hours of content.

 

2010-01-22 - The newest version of the TTB... so bloody tiny

The latest version of the TTB is complete, and even i am astonished at how small it is. There are no more power adapters, plug converters, or other cords. It's just a USB cable and a notebook drive in a mini case... that's our new standard.
