Good USB Drive

[Shibathedog]

This seems to be the best for the money, i compared it to tons of other products, 2GB, about 80 dollars, and one of the fastest (there where a few that where like 1 or 2 megs faster but they where like another 30+ dollars so i figured it wasnt worth the tradeoff)

Never heard of that brand though, but i trust neweggs speed claims.

I don't know about the brand. Sounds good in specs but not sure I trust the maker.

[Shibathedog]

well newegg is good about returns. If they really had alot of complaints on it i think they would stop selling it

I want to say I've heard good things about Geil memory, but I don't remember 100%.

 

I recently got one of those Seagate USB puck drives. 5gb for ~$90 on Amazon. It's slow compared to a memstick, and a little bigger, but it holds all my stuff and I just toss it in my backpack anyway. The cord is a little short, but that's not usually a problem. Plus, it fits perfectly in an altoids citrus tin:

I've used peak drives 1GB 512 and 256MB with no problem but each to their own

USB hard drive caddy + desktop drive = F**K flash drives

 

You can go so far as to get a slim caddy and notebook drive, for larger storage space at a lower cost.

 

Flash media is still a HUGE ripoff IMO

[Shibathedog]

yeah it is, but its more portable/quicker for alot of things

 

and its still cheaper if you only need a few GBs or less

[Shibathedog]

BTW I did alot of research, and this seems to be the best USB flash drive around (for the price)

Its alot faster than the PNY Drive (which is only 9mbps read 7mbps write if i remember correctly) and i actually bought one and did alot of testing and it works fine for everything, its in almost constant use and hasnt died yet
