Does anyone have a link to a good flash drive review? I've found a handful on google but the newest one is over a year old and they didnt test anything bigger then 2gb - they even tested one that's 128mb. Was it only a year ago that 128mb was worth bothering with? ;)

thanks

A lot of reviews right now covering flash drives mainly try to review how well it works with Vista's Ready Boost. Ignore their performance rating in regards to that, because ReadyBoost isn't doing jack right now.

2GB flash drives are becoming more mainstream than they were awhile ago. And it's fairly cheap. If you think you only need 2GB or storage, you should be able to pick up a cheap one anywhere(less than $50). 4GB flash drives are available now too.

Anything from Corsair, Sandisk, Kingston, PNY, etc. should do what you need.

Encryption is available for most of these brands too in case you need to secure your data.

Do you plan on purchasing in store or online(giving you more than 2x the options).
