USB Flash Drive

I'm in the market for one ... I don't need a gig storage capacity ... 256 or 512 should do nicely.

Any recommendations on brands (pros & cons) or ones to avoid?

TIA

I just picked up a 512 USB, and I love it. It came with a 2 foot extension connector, so now I don't have to be a contortionist when plugging the USB into the back of the comptuer each time I use it. I bought it at Staples for $39.99, and it had a $10.00 rebate on it. Nice price for the item, but what really makes it and especially good deal for me is that extension connector. It's an PNY Technologies items - I know nothing about the company, but so far I am very pleased with it.

I have a Dell memory key, 256mb. I keep it in my purse at all times and if there is anything more convenient, I wish someone would tell me about it.

Simple to operate - you plug it into your USB port, drag and drop, disconnect it, unplug, and off you go.

I have one of those too, and they are the coolest. It came with my computer. I love it!
