What brand? Speed (USB 1.1, 2.0)? I've tested and reviewed over 25 samples so far, and over 30 total public and privately (closed-door testing, Prototype testing). I've used and tested nearly all the big and small name rebranded drives and OEM drives.

Hmm, still have no idea the brand etc, but those are cookie-stamped style stats. Nothing special/fancy.

These guys have drives that are Slightly more expensive, but i've tested/reviewed their 32, 64, and 256MB modules, and they are in the top 90th percentile for USB 1.1 performance. Also, if you buy their 256MB drive, they throw-in a 128MB for free, for a limited only.

However, you simply can't go wrong with this brand, and their prices are excellent:

23 USB Flash drives tested, on a PC, but scores on the PC mirror those of a Mac, since the Flash drive is the bottleneck for USB 1.1, and not the computer/OS.

Do you happen to have a roundup article?

 

[jonmon]

Excellent. Have you ever tested any Macally drives?

And are far bigger in size, no?

 

[MacDoc]

Depends...no it's not keychain size but it's pretty small and weigh nothing. Ours are slightly smaller than this and upgradeable.
We just love em.....and up to 80 gigs too

Sometimes too small can be an issue too - I just think the USB sticks are pricey. Now if someone does a USB adapter for the camera cards...that makes more sense as they can do double duty.

Why buy a pen drive that has a fixed amount of storage space, Wouldn't it be better to buy a USB drive that is scalable?

This Drive/ Reader made by Frontel inc is available at Canada Computers in Toronto, Check it out, I would love to try it out with a 1 gig card
(Or even the new 4 gig Compact Flash cards)
