Kingston!

Kingston is the name (and brand, because I wasn't very original when deciding on the name) of my current USB. He has a capacity of 256GB and I love him very very much. Unlike previous USBs I've daily drived the last few years he only has USB-A and is not dual with a USB-C on the other end, as my computers that I use, both at home and at work, all have regular USB ports available again (woo!)

Kingston precedes hortentia and toriel, which both still work but had physical moving mechanisms on them to allow a switch between USB-C and USB-A, which I had broken from fidgetting with too much while walking around with them on a USB, which the breaking of the mechanism made hortentia difficult to insert into devices and for toriele it was also no longer possible to keep her connected to my lanyard safely (though I did use tape for a while I just didn't trust it enough to keep doing that long term)

Before you ask, yes I backup Kingston every so often. I have my synology NAS that i use for my homelab _{(note: the homelab page is outdated currently)} set up so that when I plug Kingston into any of it's USB ports it automatically backs up the files that are important, excluding things like portable applications etc.

To give you an idea of the vast range of things I store on my USB, here is a rough list of the main directories and subdirectories on it:
