Large Capacity Flash Drive - Page 2

DarthSlyGuy · 10-02-2008, 01:06 PM

I would most definitely go with the Corsair Survivor if i had to pick from that list. I don't know if you have a Costco membership but Costco currently has the SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Micro for 30 dollars right now. I personally would go with SanDisk for any flash media (if you don't want/need more than 8GB).
U3 is pretty cool, its a portable app system thats built into the Cruzer Micros:

You either love it or hate it. I use U3 alot, its nice having a portable FF. WinRAR and OpenOffice that retains all my files and settings. You supposedly can also install photoshop and other apps but its a bit more complicated. If you don't want U3 you can get this one:

my favorite flash drive is by ATP, called Toughdrive. its speed is alright, not superfast but better than others I've used. The best thing about Toughdrives is that they're practically indestructible - I've run mine through the washing machine and dropped it out a third story window onto concrete and it worked just fine after both. I've read that people have soaked them in water overnight and they still worked.

What I don't understand is how USB 2.0 is supposed to be 480 Mbps, but all these drives only go at like 30MBps.

1337th post. Yay, now I can stop!

i tried to stop, but srs couldnt, i needed to voice my opinion on something.

once you get to the point where your addicted enough to reach 1337 posts, your hooked for life man. no going cold turkey, unless you just leave the site forever, use your modem to ban the IP, pass it something you dont know, like just basht he key board a could times for a new pass, and super glue the plugs into your computer and the cords intot he modem so you cant change modems(only works for wired), and destroy extra sltos you might fit a wirless card in, and never save enough money that you might buy a new computer with.

also, i need to buy that corsair already, sheesh. putting it off, ill put up speed after i get it eventually.

I have been in and out of this site a couple times. It's not that bad, I just get bored of it, then I get reinterested.

I started posting again now that my name got changed, and I took a screenshot.

I'm surprised to see that 32GB flash drive is $65, while a 32GB SDHC card is only $2 more.

the 16gb corsair specs as follows
17.7MB/sec Minimum Read
31.3MB/sec Max Read
28.5MB/sec Avg read
.5ms Access time
26.4MB/sec Burst rate
7.7% CPU usage
