need flash drive

[super2007]

Well i need a flash drive, 8 or 16 + gb space. I want a fast flash drive. One off newegg might be nice. by fast i dont mean like super fast, like i was reading reviews for flash voyager and alot of ppl are saying its slow..even tho newegg reviews are newbie reviews but any suggest me one please.

few that i picked out

1. Patriot Xporter XT

2. CORSAIR Flash Voyager

This might help, or simply give you something to rate your 2 suggestions against... http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/flash2005.ars/8

OR... you could simply go to one of these... http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyId=15&articleId=9124298&intsrc=hm_topic
or these... http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_throttle_esata_flash_drive

They blow everything else completely out of the water!

Just messing withya on the last two, so don't panic lol.

My personal preference for both reliability and speed, would have to the the Cruzer Titanium range. They are really robust and have pretty quick transfer speeds... I think you'll be impressed, and they don't cost you an arm and a leg. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3720271&CatId=2633 (TD is a really good firm to deal with)

AND... I found this interesting looking review (only a week old) or 21 drives... http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/21-usb-drives-tested-20-immediately-misplaced/

not bad, sandisk seems a better choice

I love my Sandisk!

[super2007]

um..$40 for 8gb..while $40 i can get 16gb off newegg..

so you think i should get the sandisk because its faster than the one i picked out? i just dont understand the whole read/write etc etc

avoid the super tallent pico C although it is one of the fastest and easily the smallest the batch of them newegg has seem to be dying left and right even though older versions worked just fine.

Yep... grab a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium in the size you want, and you'll not be disappointed.

i had a 1GB cybersnipa it was fast but 4GB is their largest size

I just got a Kingston Tech DT150 that I'm pretty happy with. 32 GB FTW!

I loved my 1gb Flash Voyager, but i do have to say that after a while of use the rubber cap has some issues..

Since it's solid rubber with just some small gripping protuberances molded on the inside, there is nothing to help it hold on to the USB connector. So it starts to wear out and eventually starts falling off every time you turn your head.
