The creation of an e-ink usb stick showing how much space is in use was to this day one of the best things lexar ever did.

I need these... Everyone needs these...

How come I've never heard of those?

I hear Christmas is coming. Buy fancy flashdrives for all the familyyy!!!

Can't find it. Can anyone share a link? Tia

@netikras Seems to be a discontinued product :(

"It appears that Lexar, the company that produced the USB Flash Drive with storage indicator, does not produce the USB device anymore. If you visit the official company homepage you will notice that no drive with capacity meter is shown on the USB product lineup page."

It seems that amazon still has 18 of a variant of it.. Here: https://amazon.com/Lexar-Backup-Fla...

Yea this bad boy got discontinued sadly, use to have one of them and found it so cool. Sadly I lost it, brought back memories just looking at the flash drive again.

I am making this

This is useful. Flash drive companies take note.

@CozyPlanes for sale? :)

I wonder if it'd work with filesystems other than FAT32 though.. but it looks like a neat feature regardless!

@netikras maybe in hackaday

make it, put it on kickstarter, get noticed by every flashdrive company, wait till they implement it, sell off company
done.

Nice but kinda late isn't it? Is it a thing on external drives?

Why is this no longer a thing?? I smell a Kickstarter idea...

Waiting for btrfs support on the Kickstarter version... 😁

@tekmeister if you look closely somebody posted benchmarks showing terrible write speeds, kind of making the space indicator useless...

However, it does work with ext4 :)
