Hello,
I'm interested in buying a USB memory stick of 4/8GB.
I'm mainly aiming for fast data transer rate: 24MB/s Read (And Higher) 18MB/s, Write (And Higher)
I want to be able to copy fast onto the USB stick, all those DivX/Xvid anime and games I download at my work pc.
This Kingston stick looks good, but it's only 4Gigs:

This Kingston stick looks good, but it's only 4Gigs:
i have like 6 USB keys from ADATA, Sandisk, EP Memory and OCZ.
The OCZ one that I have is by far the best. It is the OCZ Rally 1 1gb which has since been replaced by the Rally2. They are very well built and EXTREMELY fast.
The 16GB version looks cool, but it’s too slow Especially write speed:
Read speed: 22MB/s
Write speed: 7MB/s
However, after reading through some reviews regarding the Corsair rubber USB sticks, I noticed quite a few people claming that the cap is too loose, it can easily fall off and get lost. Once it's gone, the USB connector can brake easily:
I've had that unit in my pocket since the first week they were available here in aus.... I find removing the cap to not be an issue, but does take a bit of force. It's never come off by accident. (And its fast enough for me....)
Have you considered a card reader and card combo. That way you can have as much storage as you need. memory cards are dirt cheap these days and seem to be quite sturdy, so when you need more capacity, you can just buy another card.
Plus you can use your large capacity memory card in you digi cams etc

do you know of any good card reader that can read a 4gb SDHC card?
Should be able to squeeze the boot, o/s, pdf reader, and office in there for emergencies. 8)

BTW==> sorry about 1st post, didn't see the speed specs... you would be looking at Solid State Hard Disk for CF cards (ATA-66 minimum) But imagine if you could plug a SSHD directly into the IDE header on the MoBo... can you say ATA133 without a cable?
here's a CF card maxed out
I have had the Corsair for about 3 months now. I use it to transfer my home videos back and forth. It has good speed and the rubber housing around the drive is pretty sweet. I have dropped it many of times and by now without the rubber coating it would have been toast.

dude it would have been fine w/o the rubber.
I dropped my 5th gen ipod a lot. today I threw my cell phone at a table. the battery popped out but thats it. Flashdrives have been known to consistently survive the wash, so a little drop aint nothin
its interesting that the drives most advertised for durability are the largest. Which do you think would survive a fall off of the Empire State Building, a Corsair (forget the name) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820233056
