julkali20826y@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."

VenomDev7166yYea 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.

Condor325176yI wonder if it'd work with filesystems other than FAT32 though.. but it looks like a neat feature regardless!

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

@Emphiliis USB 3.0 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 :)
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.
