I'm loving it - had it for maybe 2 years now. It's great to be able to carry that instead of a briefcase full of floppys/CD's when I go on a call.
I just bought a Memorex 1GB Traveldrive, yet to be used.
Lexor 128 MB Jump Drive

Our network died several months ago and we've never been able to get it to work since, so we just need something to let me get a few pictures or documents from one machine to another in the same home office. For several months I'd been uploading the files to my web host then downloading to my other PC, but my husband's PC doesn't have FTP sofware so I was wasting a lot of CD's moving data.
The Lexor Jump Drive was around $14.99 at WalMart and is super handy. It hangs on a keychain from a desk door handle when not in use. It was a pleasant surprise that it worked right off the bat in all our XP machines.
1 GB Memorex

I got this baby for around forty bucks about five months back. A good deal even today for a 1 GB drive. Big enough to prove itself useful nearly every day at work. Memorex has always been a good name in storage and I highly recommend their jump drives.

By not allowing multiple answers, you've invalidated the poll results. Like many others, I have a stack of USB flash drives, from 64kB up to 1GB - some of which were giveaways at exhibitions or press events. You imply that everybody has just one drive, which I doubt is true. But you should have asked that question.

I use a PNY 512 MB falsh drive. I have had it for about a year now with no problems. For Christmas, my father got me a 1 GB LG flash drive that retracts, but about 2 months after I had it quit working. I had to take it apart to be able to access the data on it and transfer that data to my PNY drive. I think it had somethign to do with the contacts when you slide the connector out, but I have not investigated it further. I'll stick with the PNY.

I started out with a 16Mb and when I started losing the drives, I moved up to the maximum capacity at the time without breaking the bank. Last time, I lost my 1GB Sandisk Cruzer and I replaced it with a 4GB Sandisk. I haven't lost my 4GB yet, but I had my friend send me a 8GB drive. Not sure what the brand is, but its metal casing and its light.

I use a 1GB drive from QuickDrive. I can easily transfer files from work and home. I trend to create many files at work and give them all Names with date and Time and subject.

Tho on occasion I have a USB floppy drive and use a old zip drive to transfer files on old machines.
Before thumb drives became popular I had purchased a extra compact flash drive and used it to transfer files, a few years later got a 128mb thumb drive and just this month got a great deal from newegg on a PNY 1GB USB 2.0 drive for under $35.
How nice it is to fit more info than a cdr on a flash drive and not having to worry about scratches

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.

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.

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?

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).

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

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.

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.
