I'm thinking of buying a USB memory stick.

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a USB memory stick,

beacuse I'm going to have much more presentations next term.

Any suggestions for a nice product?

Thanks in advance

That depends on what you want. There are many products out there and getting a cheap generic one will suffice unless you want something different like faster speed or extra durability etc.

 

Hi,
take a look at SanDisk Cruzer. It is really fast usb drive, i have 4gb version and i can recomend you this product. I tested Cruzer with OCZ rally2 and PQI and SanDisk was faster

 

I know how hard making these sorts of decisions can be. Do I go cheap? Do I go for size? etc etc.

I just recently bought the Corsair Flash Voyager 4GB. It's definitely more storage than I'll ever need for documents and things, but I do transfer large video files from place to place. I've had it for about a year, and I'd have to say I'm fairly satisfied with it.

Pros:
- Sturdy design. Been through the wash, dropped, stepped on, sat on and it's still working fine.

Cons:
- Cap is so easy to lose.
- Very dusty if you keep it in your pocket. Rubber is a dust MAGNET.

 

Something to think about, Ohmy-

Also, there are many reviews of usb brands at the right of the page..

I have used Cruzer, Kingston, Lexar, the only one that bit the dust early was PNY-
not getting one of those again.

I always go for Kingston.

A friend of mine has an LG, but it SLOOOOOWWWW

 

i have a corsair flash voyager 2GB. fast and durable.
check out the other corsair flash drives on the corsair website.

Another vote for SanDisk Cruzer. It is fast enough for Vista's Ready Boost and any kind of data.

I've been using a Crucial 2GB Gizmo Overdrive, and can recommend it as being fast and reliable.

 

i got a couple of 4 GB Corsair Flash Voyagers for $10 ea. from Newegg a few weeks ago....work fine for my use....

i see that you are in Korea, i was going to recommend SD or fatwallet, but you must have similar sites there that keep people apprised of the latest good deals.....

 

Thanks all for your replies,
I really appreciate it.

SanDisk Cruzer Titanium vs Car

Cruzer have quite a fast speed.

Reviews from last year.

 

Cruzer The 2 gig Cruzer is the flagship of my collection which include 2 Lexar, and 3 Kingstons as well. All of various size and with various purposes.

 

Cruzer micro skin (the normal one, not the U3 one)

Cheap, very durable and does exactly what it says on the tin

 

Forgot to mention that I uninstalled the U3 software. Found it to proprietary. It also seemed to cause conflicts on my tower when I tried out my Son-in-Laws.

 

I'll buy a flashdrive tomorrow.
I narrowed it down to 3 choices. I would appreciate suggestions and opinions please, thanks.

1.- Corsair VoyagerMini 4GB; ~$35

Pros:
Rugged, small, high capacity

Cons:
Most expensive of all 3

2.- Sony MicroVault Tiny 1GB; ~$16

Pros:
Slim, cheap

Cons:
Lowest capacity (sadly I can't get the 4GB model here in my country), I don't trust sony to be such a good flashdrive maker.

3.- Kingston DataTraveler Mini Migo 4GB; ~$32
(sorry, couldn't find an english link for this one)

Pros:
High capacity, I've always used Kingston with no problems

Cons:
U3, I don't need that.

 

We use Sandisk Cruzers. My wife has a 3 of them on which she stores pictures and things. I have one 2G that I keep files on. I'll never fill it. Never had a problem with any of them.

 

Would be my choice as well.

Pros: U3 can be uninstalled. My Sandisk Cruzer Titanium came with it as well. They offer a utility or a simple right click on the tray icon that displays when it is plugged in should do the trick.
