3 USB battery banks
3 usb-c high power bricks
9 256gb NVME ssds
2 2TB external USB ssds
1 4tb external USB drive still new in box.
4 tigards

And also...

1 Travel presentation kit with HDMI, vga, Ethernet, and other cables and adapters
1 Travel solder kit with iron, sucker, stand, solder, pliers, cutters
3 months of random receipts
300+ stickers
100+ of my business cards
