Kingston is indeed a good choice, they usually support USB 2 and they look gooooood

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.

I've got a Cruzer Mini 256M USB Memory from Sandisk, I bought it for more less $40. I'm very Happy with it, so I can recommend it.

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 have a SanDisk 512 mb cruzer mini. It is really cool, because it has encryption software on it. I would definately buy another.

SANDISK SDCZ3512A10 512/1024 MB CRUZER TITANIUM is the best choice for such a disk.
