Reddit reviews Kingston Digital DataTraveler SE9 16GB USB 2.0 (DTSE9H/16GBZET),Silver

Yep, I have had one on my keychain for four years, and it still looks in pretty good shape, and works perfectly. Here it is

The only reason I would upgrade at this point would be to get the newer model which is USB 3.0 (10x faster read/write). But for oddball installers/tools/and work related files it comes in really handy.

And it has moving parts... which is kinda the whole thing we're trying to get away from. I guess you could just take the cap off, but why create waste?

These are a good alternative if the Patriot ones are too spendy.

Or just buy a bunch of these and throw them on a chain!

Somebody is probably going to ask:

Kingston DataTraveller SE9

here ya go.

I bought this one the other day for my keychain for no other reason aside from "just in case". It's pretty sturdy, too. Not the fastest around, but it's not exactly expensive.

Had this one for 7 or 8 years without a problem. I kept it on my key chain and it had a rough life, has been swimming, covered in mud, stepped on, etc. and as far as I know is still going (gave to a coworker).

Buy him an SE9

to the betas considering these, please do yourself a favor and stop being tacky

Full-time student, so every time of fun makes me feel guilty so I know the feel of being bored while working :(

But I love that I can make anyone laugh within minutes of meeting them...if they don't come off as a douchebag that is.

I love gaming, and I'm really big on LAN parties, so if we need to install games on someone else's computer, I'm going to need a Flash Drive.

Thanks for the contest!

Kingston DTSE9 - Small little metal 16GB USB drive that's meant to go on your keys. I've had mine for 3 years and I love it. It's gets this really nice beaten-up, stonewashed finish after rubbing on your keys for awhile. You can see how small it is on my keys here.

Fenix E12 - Compact single AA flashlight that is a great size for putting in your pocket/bag. I have the previous model, the E11, and I love it. Fairly bright for a single AA.

Leatherman Bit Set - I just recently bought this for myself, and it's amazing. I have a Leatherman Wave and a Skeletool CX which use Leatherman bits; some of the lower end Leathermans don't use these. This comes with torx, phillips, flat, hex, and small eyeglass bits.

Solar Panel Cell Phone Charger - I keep this exact model in my backpack with a 6" USB cable. It's basically just a small solar panel with a USB port. Really nice build quality for the price, and it works great. It can charge my phone twice without needing to be charged via computer or sunlight.

I think all of this is under $80 cumulatively.

My critique of your question.

Your hardware options are wide open. Anything that will support AMD-V or VT-d (no need for VT-x) will work. Some will say 8GB of ram is ok, I'd recommend 16GB to give yourself breathing room.

If you want to be lazy a Dell PowerEdge T110 II will fit your needs. Processor details. By lazy I mean not worrying too much about hardware details and focusing on setting up a backup solution, XBMC (Kodi), Lychee. I highly recommend booting whatever OS for virtualization off of USB to separate your hypervisor from your VM data. This way if the hypervisor takes a shit (it shouldn't) your VMs are safe. In your case it allows you to rebuild the RAID array without worrying about losing your host configuration settings.

Expect this to take you longer than 10 days, the time between now and christmas, unless you can dedicate all your time to the project.
