Higher level of storage than a Floppy Disk, to store multiple programs

EDIT: Sorry. Im new to ComputerCraft, and I didn't know you could store multiple programs on one floppy disk. Ignore this post, please.

What if players could craft a flash drive, and then put multiple programs on it? Craftable flash drives could vary in the amount of space provided, depending on variations in the crafting recipe. For example, a thumb drive crafted with a stack of redstone would hold 64 programs, and the amount of craftable storage would be in intervals of 8. (To clarify, 8 redstone = 8 programs, etc etc)

This would make it easier to transfer programs from one computer to the other; easier than swapping floppies, at least. Thoughts?
