Uses for a 2 GB internal USB flash module?


Got my hands on a Dell Latitude ON module. Turns out it's nothing more than a 2 GB flash module that fits in a mPCIe slot and is wired to the USB lanes. Shows up as /dev/sdb.

I do have a couple of old laptops that don't have a secondary SATA drive slot, but do have open mPCIe slots with USB lanes (no mSATA lanes). The Latitude ON module would allow for a dual drive system, albeit a rather crappy one. What would you put on a secondary internal drive if it were limited to 2 GB and USB protocol?

I stopped for lunch at a fast food joint and the woman working the register was definitely late 70s/early 80s. She was definitely having mobility issues.

What the actual fuck. We have failed as a society if folks that old and infirm have to work jobs that bad.

is two nights of aurora in a row statistically unsuual
in reply to mcc

Two nights of aurora borealis is not unusual at high latitudes. At lower latitudes it’s more rare, but strong solar storms can make it happen.
in reply to mcc

there is a big flare activity! I'm signed up to aurora chaser alerts via Australian Bureau of Meteorology and I've been getting alerts. It's been rainy and I have to work so I missed all of them

Here's a description of the image:

A close-up shot shows several ears of corn with their husks partially peeled back, revealing the kernels. The corn is a deep reddish-brown color, and the kernels are arranged in neat rows. Two hands are holding one ear of corn open, exposing the kernels more fully. The husks are dry and golden-brown in color, and some are laying on a white surface. The image appears to focus on the unique color of the corn kernels.
