Facilities "live" operating systems are very useful to test the basic functions of each, or to access their tools in case there is a problem with our main facility. But the major limitations of these systems are in the speed of the medium used, and in the absence of persistence. In the first case, a DVD or a USB pendrive 2.0 usually test the user's patience, persistence WHILE that can be achieved, but requires some configuration commitments that may affect the final yield. The alternative would be something like StormFly.
StormFly is based on a USB 3.0 installed on a bracelet, whose chip is robust enough to withstand all read and write operations that demand an operating system, including persistence, application installation and why not OS upgrades. In total, the space on a drive is 16 gigabytes StormFly, eight for the operating system, four for the user's local folder, and the four remaining gigabytes for the "Shared" folder. This last folder allows the user to transfer data easily between StormFly and other operating systems. For example, if you create a document within StormFly and save it in the shared folder, you just need to connect the drive to another operating system as if it were a simple flash drive to access the document.
StormFly also has a 128-bit encryption (password protection), and its leaders will also offer general support system, at a cost of twenty dollars per year. As StormFly himself, his entry into Kickstarter reveals that to get one you have to pay about $ 59, plus another fifteen for international shipments. The highest option delivers a custom StormFly green, online backup for life, and a free replacement in case of loss or theft, but you have to invest about $ 200 for it. The project requires a hundred thousand dollars, and got fifth in less than a week, so it is likely to come to market successfully.
