[dba-Tech] Best thumb drive

Well, there are speed differences.  Some of them are much faster than
others.  I do not have any details on which are faster, but I do know they
exist.  If you have to copy a large amount of data, you;ll appreciate the
speed.

I had a 16GB drive that I filled up all of the time - transferring large
files/images/etc., between systems.  It's nice when you can carry a few DVD
ISO images around.

I personally like the Corsair drives.  Although I do not think they are the
fastest or best, but that are a good value for the money.

AFAICT they're all the same.  Just picked up  4gb for $12 at Fry's.  I'll
never fill it up.  I've got a 512MB one.  I never ran out of space for any
reason on that one either.

I had several.  I can't see any difference at al among them.

Really remarkable technology.  I mean the actual chip itself that holds 4
billion bytes (what's that like 32 billion transistors?) is teeny.

What would be the best thumb drive for carrying round .ppt presentations and
the like?
