I would just get whatever is cheapest and whatever is the most popular, simply because unless you are going to store government top-secret files there is no reason to overspend on something as simple as a usb stick.

I recently bought a Cruzer Micro 512 MB Memory Drive, made by SanDisk. I believe it's the smallest one on the market. You could describe it as sleek, even sexy :) . Anyway, it's compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, and you can download drivers for machines running Windows 98 (you don't need them if you run anything higher than 98). It's also compatible with Macs and Linux machines. I got it for the great price of $40 at Circuit City.

I've had a SanDisk 256 meg Cruzer Mini for a year now, and I'm very happy with it. I got it at Costco for $10 less than it was a Best Buy..... :)

 

I just don't get why to ones at Costco have the huge plastic packages. :(

Don't get one of the ones with the built-in fingerprint scanners. :(
I'm looking at the Sony MicroVault Mini. I think it looks pretty cool and it has enough storage for me.

I know people who have PNY, Sony and Sandisk.Some people stick with brand names, others buy whatever is on sale.Check out those sales online on Sunday morning. Staples has their latest sales flyer online each Friday.You can find the best prices in your town by surfing the net.Don't forget that all those rebate offers help save money towards the next toy!
