Thread: Объём флешки

What's the most common way to say "How big is your flash drive?" in Russian? I was guessing it would be:

1. Какого объёма твоя флешка?
2. Какого размера твоя флешка?

The first question is about capacity (in Gb), the second one is about geometric size (in cm). Well, someone can use the second question when he actually means capacity, and everyone will understand him (who wants to know about geometric size, anyway), but it's not correct. You even can ask "У тебя флешка большая?" or simply "Какая у тебя флешка?" But the answer may be "черная" or "USB-шная"

- Сельдерей у тебя большой?
- Не сумлевайся.

Would people ever say either of these?

3. Твоя флешка — какой объём?
4. Твоя флешка — какой размер?

When written it looks inarticulate, but in a colloquial speech in a hurry it is possible.

На сколько гиг/гектар твоя флешка?
Сколько влазит на твою флешку?
У твоей флешки как(ой/ая) объём/ёмкость/вместительность?

Thanks, LuxD & Itogo!
