You'd look pretty stupid carrying around three USB keys instead of just one. That's what they're for by the way, portable storage... I always carry around my 128GB, everywhere I go, because you never know when you might need to save something! It's completely different from buying something like two high-end graphics cards, you don't carry those around with you (except that I actually end up carrying them to LAN parties a lot anyways, ugh).

By the time you need to transfer 128Gb's at once you may as well get a god damned 1TB external drive for that price.

What would you use 128 GB on a memory stick for?

I transfer lots of HD video back and forth between certain computers, sometimes it's faster than using the network because wireless is so slow. I'm also a pack rat and always try to store rather than delete files that I think I'll use more than once.

Having 3 lets you have even more backup copies if you wish. As long as its under 64GB.
Therefore, having 3 is better, also who gives a fuck if you "look stupid" carrying around 3, least your data's backed up.

Get an external HD, then you can transfer loads at once :)

I would rather have three 64GB drives and split my data up into 3 winrars than have it all in one mega file, not only is it quicker to transfer but also safer and would allow more storage.

Yeah, who uses flash drives anymore.
