I did some tinkering and some testing and it appears that I can get the entire library (minus the two Scientific American Categories) onto a 256GB Flash Drive. It doesn’t leave a lot of room but it fits.
I have always been a little ambivalent about the Scientific American collection. It has some good information in it but that information is scattered across more than 700 files without any really usable index into them. So of all the Categories those two are probably the least useful of the entire Library. Anyone who really wants those two Categories can easily download the two .ZIP files that contain all of the volumes.
The Hard Drive copies of the Library will still contain those two Categories.
So I’ve ordered some 265GB drives, though I went with the PNY Flash Drives rather than the Sandisk I normally order. The PNY has a physical design I actually somewhat prefer but they are not as fast as the Sandisk. The 256GB PNYs are about the same price as the Sandisk 512GB were a couple months ago. The Sandisk 256gb are significantly more expensive than the PNYs. I just can’t justify the extra cost for a tiny bit more speed.
They should be here tomorrow and I’ll start copying as soon as they come it. I should have them ready and posted this weekend.
