I just bought me a new one made by Memorex. I still can't get over this little thing holding 1 gig of storage!! It also emulates a cd drive and can run programs from the drive!!! Thought it was too cool to pass up!!

I have a 1 GB, another thing I found out USB drives can do... it can boot a computer, my 64-bit computer was trying to boot off my USB HD, instead of my SATA drive :)

Found that out too. I left it plugged in and I got a message that said no OS found! Once I realized it meant on the flash drive, I thought it was pretty cool!!

Dang, 4 gig is massive, I bet the price would knock you cold to LOL. I have a 512 usb memory drive. I like the fact that its made with flash memory, which virtually never will die. I wish they could make the hardrives we use in our computers with flash. the problem is that the price would be way to high right now, and I dont know if they could get that big, but its a thought.
