National Delurking Week - Day 2
I received some money for Christmas and decided to invest in my first flash drive. I know. It's a huge step. I'm half expecting my mom to pop up somewhere with a camcorder. Oh wait. She doesn't have one. Thank God for that. Embarrassing pictures are enough to bare.
Like I was saying, I'm thinking about buying a flash drive. I started my search on Amazon which turned out to be a huge mistake. I was looking to purchase something cheap and simple. Amazon is not the place for that. Even narrowing down my search, I still had like 800 to choose from. I now know how some guys feel on picking wedding china.
I'm not very techie. I don't know which ones are better than others. I can only judge by shape and even that has proven to be difficult. I mean how many people are in the market for flash drives shaped like thumbs, bombs and wooden sticks?
This simple task has become overwhelming. Therefore, I have opened the floor to you all. What flash drive do you use? Satisfied with your choice?

The cheapest flash drive I could get at walmart has worked just fine for me for over a year.

Yeah I thought about checking out their selections.
I've got a green Kingston. I can't remember if it is 1gb or 2gb, but its enough to take my powerpoint presentations to and from school which is all I really use it for.
I chose a kingston because some of the sandisk drives don't work on the computers at my college, and it was cheap on ebay. I'm happy with it.
I thougth I was late to the flash drive game. My one gigabyte viking was given to me by a co-worker for going above and beyond to fix her blackberry issue.
I also have a cheap 32 megabyte with the company logo that I try and use for official company business, but it is a little small.

modernprincess - thanks for sharing. I only need one to back up my writing.
Joseph - Never too late to join in. Wow. A flash drive as a tip? The world did an upgrade without notifying me.
I'd definitely look for size, speed, and compatibility (both USB 1.1 and 2.0) Way before worrying about looks.
That being said there's a certain James Bond aspect to having one hidden in your pen or looking like a box of matches.
