| Printer | Required | Printing from UCSD computers requires a UCSD Imprints card (cost $0.10/page). Thus, printing at home is the most cost effective option for students. When selecting a printer, students should not only consider the initial purchase price, but also the cost of ink cartridge replacements. |
| Portable Mass Storage | 512 MB USB Flash Drive | Strongly recommended for transport of files to/from home/school. |
| Back-UP | STRONGLY recommended | Students should consider strategies for backing up important files such as writing to a CD or external hard drive. |
