Creating Custom Made Usb Drives

By Tammie Caldwell


USBs these days are actually necessities which people need in order to store important data that they have. Of course with it being so popular, many people would actually think of jazzing these thumb drives up a bit. One can actually make custom made usb drives in his home without spending too much.

Now the first step in doing this would be to get a thumb drive and take out the existing case. It is important to get the internals because this is what will be used to make the custom made drive. One has to be very careful though because the internal part of the drive is quite sensitive.

Of course it is suggested that one would use a screwdriver for this job because it will help protect the inside. Now the screwdriver will be able to help in a sense that it will easily crack open the case. It is more efficient than just using bare hands because if one will use his bare hands, then he may use too much force and damage the inside.

The next step in this process would be to find an outer covering for the thumb drive. Now this is the rather interesting part because this is where one can get creative. This outer covering can be made from practically any material ranging from plastic to metal or anything else.

Now some of the suggested things to use for this part would be some toys, lego blocks, or even clay if one would like. Of course there is no limit to the things that one can do with this. Now once he has already chosen what he wants to use for his outer covering, he now has to get himself a drill.

Now the drill would be used in the event that the covering that he chose does not have a hole where the thumb drive can fit. He would need to get the exact length of the drive and the width as well so that he will know how big the hole will be. Once the hole is already made, then all he has to do would be to just slot the thumb drive in.

The last step in the process is to use some epoxy or super glue to stick the thumb drive to the hole. To do this step, one has to just slot the drive inside the hole then put the glue all over the entrance of the hole. After that, he should let the glue dry by putting the newly made thumb drive across an electric fan so that the glue will dry.

So if one has a little bit of an artistic touch and does not mind putting in some time and effort, then he can make his own custom thumb drive. Now the great thing about this is that it is very cheap to do. No longer will one have to spend a lot of money to make a custom thumb drive. He can just make it at home already without having to go to any store.
