USB Pendrives

[septiroth]

What pen drives are you guys using, i've had a pendrive from pendrive USA and it failed after a month and 3 days(30day exchange at newegg....daaaamn!) What is a good one to replace this? I was looking at a geil usb 2.0 one on newegg....you guys used one of those yet?

oh yeah, the one i had i could boot off of, b/c my bios would reconize it as a usb fdd drive, does the geil one do that?

are pen drives the same as thumbdrives? if so they are cool they make a 1gig USB 2.0

I can only assume that pen drives use some sort of Flash memory technology, which has a limited number of write cycles before it goes dead (I believe this is somewhere around 10,000, but could easily be wrong). Therefore, I'd highly advise against putting your swap file on it.

what happened to mine, is that the usb contacts seem to be broken, i have to bend the drive while in the slot for it to recongize

and yes they have a 2gb usb 2.0
