I've been carrying a 512MB san disk cruzer micro for the past 6 months. I got it on sale, with a rebate, and an employee discount because I was working at the store part time.
I was taking network certification courses at the time I bought it, and it was very useful in sharing practice test information.

Corsair 1GB USB
by bugmenot2 - 5/19/06 11:23 PM In reply to: What size USB flash drive do you use (and which type)? by Marc Bennett
I had a 1 GB flash drive by Corsair until it crapped out on me. I RMA'd it over 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything or received a replacement. Good thing I ran across this poll, now I got to contact Corsair and see what the deal is.

Siemens flash drivce

I received a 256MB flash drive from Siemens as a gift. It run right away with my W2000. No problems at all. And what a speed.
It came with a disk for W98.
What is the difference between flash drive and regular memory sticks anyway?

6gb usb

I use a Carte Orange 6gb usb for file storage and transfer as I tend to use a lot of video. Mostly it is a back up drive if I need to use another laptop
A $125 Flash Drive?
by Merranvo - 5/21/06 6:26 PM In reply to: 6gb usb by tinyt187I personally think that once you start getting up there you should be consitering external hard drives instead of expensive Flash Drives. Most of the time the nessecary drives come with your system anyways, or can be easily download via the driver installation wizard.
I use my 30GB iPod
by cadman - 5/20/06 8:34 AM In reply to: What size USB flash drive do you use (and which type)? by Marc Bennett
I just enable disk use and use it as a portable HD. Even with all my music and photos I still have 20GB of free space (though some of that is temporarily taken up with videos/podcasts).
People should learn to do that
by Merranvo - 5/21/06 6:39 PM In reply to: I use my 30GB iPod by cadmanI personally have seen people with both external hard drives and ipods... sure ipods have a bad RPM, but hey, it gets the job done, is small, and doubles as an IPOD.

Don't use one at all ... frankly, this 'puter is almost old enough to vote on its own.
Oh well, I'm just a secondary user of the box & have given up on attempting the get the owner to get the darned thing cleaned up and organized so it'll run as it should

OCZ Rally 1gb
by jklee91 - 5/20/06 6:44 PM In reply to: What size USB flash drive do you use (and which type)? by Marc Bennett
Last week I bought an OCZ Rally 1gb USB drive from Newegg.com for $34 dollars before rebate. It is insanely fast: I filled up the whole drive with twenty 50mb files in 60 seconds! Get this drive the other reveiws on Newegg are amazing.
1GB PQI that we bought off eBay
by judeb55 - 5/21/06 1:38 AM In reply to: What size USB flash drive do you use (and which type)? by Marc Bennett
We have two of them and one is a miniature that fits on a key chain. Both work faultlessly and are the solution for moving lots of photo raw files (each one is 5mb). It's usual for us to be shifting 500mb from 1 computer to the next and this is a good solution. I have a Sandisk 2GB card which I had in a dongle that takes different sized MMC and SD cards but it was slow and didn't work half the time. But the PQI's are terrific and reliable and fast.
256MB Lexarmedia Jumpdrive Secure
by wailwatcher - 5/21/06 11:23 AM In reply to: What size USB flash drive do you use (and which type)? by Marc Bennett
First one supplied was faulty; on reporting this, a replacement was sent within a month. Works perfectly on XP home and on Windows 98, transferring files between the two.
