Portable Flash Drives - Recommendations?

[jwmorrice]

I've been reading website reviews at Future Shop, Amazon, etc., with respect to flash drives. The old head is starting to spin from info overload. Nonetheless, I was wondering if members here had any opinions they'd like to offer on the subject.

I've been considering a drive in the 128 mb to 256 mb range. I run W2K with USB 2.0.

I have a SanDisk Cruzer mini 256mb and it works great. You can over think this perhaps..... Bought it at Best Buy.

There is a great review here:

Has a lot of information on how fast the drives work, the software that comes with them, how well built they are, etc.

My 128mb lexar secure dosen't work, luckily I backed up the particular data on it that I needed.

I have a Kingston 512Mb. Works flawlessly with driverless install in W2K and XP. Strongly recommend that you buy as much memory as you can afford - can never have too much of a good thing.

I think they're all pretty much the same. It comes down to size, features and price. Mine is also an MP3 player. You pay a little more but you get an MP3 player was well.
