I've rarely had trouble with any particular brand of flash drive, and have found that there is no definitive advantage to paying a premium price for one brand over another.

When it comes to flash drives my advice is to buy on price and to be certain that you always have the drive's contents also stored in another location (a hard drive on in "the cloud").

Sales prices change as often as the hour-hand on the clock. I'd select a retailer that you trust and have had smooth transactions with in the past.

A month ago, I found 4 GB flash drives for $10, and now those prices are even lower. Morriss003 is correct, that 4 GB is small; 8 GB seems to be the new standard. However, if you only have a gig or two of files to store, that means that you can likely find 4 GB drives for a song on the old clearance rack.

The link provided below will take you to the J and R on line store (a favorite retailer of mine). There you will see the results of a search for "USB Drive." Prices are as low as $5.99 for a 2 GB drive and as high as $199.99 for a 64 GB drive (Wow! That's HUGE!).

Good luck!
