usb flash drives

[HaxorNubcake]

I'm looking to buy a 1gb usb flash jumpdrive thing. After looking at ars technica's review, I've been looking at the Sandisk cruzer mini 1gb, which seems to be out of stock or overpriced everywhere and the Simpletech bonzai xpress which not many places seem to have. However, at frys electronics, I've also seen a lexar 1gb jumpdrive sport for a pretty good price. Any suggestions, past experiences, etc?

I have used several Lexar Jump drives - all excellent. They came in as Editor's CHoice in a magazine review last year.

Check to make sure the device is listed as Hi-Speed USB2.0. There are 3 levels of transfer rates on the devices and Hi-Speed means it utilizes the higher transfer speeds.

I had the 512mb Sandisk Cruzer Micro (different from the Mini) and was very unimpressed with the speeds. It really didn't seem that much faster than my old 128mb USB1.1 flash drive.

Sorry for a slight hijack, but I didn't want to take up more space for one small question.

But I really like these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/app...dpNo=1024509&CatId=903

But I'd like to know other peoples opinions on them as well.

If you must have a Gig, SanDisk's Cruzer Mini would be my recommendation as well. If 512 will suit you, go for the Cruzer Titanium.

I have a Kingston 2 gb elite and it is awesome and the fastest. If you have the money I suggest getting a similar drive. I believe they also make 1 gb.
