We people used to lend and use others pen drive at free cost among our collage mates. Really pen drives play an important role to transfer data's including games,movies and other contents. Really colleges help me to get such things at free cost without downloading it. Collages really rocks! Do you used to lend your pen drives among your friends ? Do you ever fell that pen drive is not working properly when you lend it to your friend ? [b]Did virus entered into your PC from your friends ? [/b]

I think these things are too inexpensive not to be bought if it's really necessary for school work. I don't really lend these gadgets to anyone because it's too prone to virus and it's for my personal use anyways. One must buy for himself/herself if he/she thinks it's important for his/her activities. You should stop lending these things to people because the spread of virus is faster when a lot of people use one device. Not to mention that a person would not really care if the device is infected with a virus - afterall, they did not buy it. Have a great MyLot experience ahead and have a great Holiday!

Well, you should try saying "no" to relatives and friends. They don't own you in the first place. Further, you could simply put something there that looks important and tell them that it's your back up for your report, if the computer crashes it's your only source of information, therefore, you cannot risk lending them because of the possibility of it getting erased. You could make up things, that's why you're in school in the first place, to practice intelligence and ability to express yourself to people. Go and practice your debating skills. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!

It is easy enough to lose or misplace one of these small drives when you are the only one using it. I cannot imagine how often it would be lost if being passed among friends. I would consider having your own as a very good investment for a college student.

djbtol, it better to buy own one. Because pendrive had become one of the essential part in the day to day life.

Borrowing and giving of pendrives between my close circles of friends are common for me.I dont usually give my pendrives to alll my friends,I only borrow or give pen drives to only my close buddies.I give pendrives oonly to peoples who I knowbefore I give pendrive I will surely ask lots and lots of question to whome i am giving to. Usually when I take pendrives from my friends,I wont simply open it before openining any folders I would go for a scan If everythings is fine then i would carry on orelse I wont open any files.I wont give virus occupoed pen drives to my friends too because i give only to my buddies and I CARE FOR THEM...

Hi I always suffer from the last option you have mentioned. I mean whenever I lend my pen-drive to anyone it always come back with too many viruses. In most of the case I don't used to give my pendrive to others. But I can't tell NO to my close friends... But whenever they return it to me , I always format it so no virus effect my system.

I think hat lending a pendrive from friends is not good habit. Because pendrive is most needed thing in our education purpose and also for our own use. Any it is needed to transfer our file to pendrive. when we give our pendrive to someone, it creates problem if he is not to get pedrive from them. after we get from them, if it doesn't work properly or unfortunately he may deleted our important file in it. It crease another problem. It is more advisable to use pendrive for our self only.
