Which is the largest flash USB drive available?

largest USB flash drives are 8GB from SanDisk, Lexar, Memorex and others.\nBut you still have the opportunity to use a 2.5" hard disk in an external USB 2.0 case. And btw, this solution is far cheaper than a single 8GB USB flash drive.\n\nAnnex\nI just found a brand new USB stick of 20 GB on ebay, it's called X-pen but the manufacturer is unknown. It consist of a 1.8" HD (4200 RPM) and the size is the same of a 2.5" HD. Price is approx. $170.

well that last answer was partially correct.  There is no difference between a Flash Drive, Pen Drive, or Thumb Drive.  Those are only names of what different manufacturers call them.  they range from 16mb-4GB.  They all work off the flash type memory versus a spining hard drive type memory, like comes in every new PC that you store your data on.  \n\nbut yes memory stick is Sony's memory for their digital cameras etc.

Yes.  For personal temporary storage, USB thumb drives are the best options, as they're more portable, and the capacities range from 32MB up to 2GB (and growing.)   For troubleshooting PCs, bootable CDROMs, followed by bootable thumb drives, are the best current replacements.

you can use a diskspacer that doubles the capacity of your flash drive (it compresses existing files and increases logical capacity) but reduces access speed drastically. i wouldn't recommend it since flash drives are meant for fast file transfers via USB.

I would use an external USB drive (flash or hard drive depending on size of files).

Maybe try the SanDisk brand, the buttons are fairly large.\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BP50AY/102-3396655-9927300?v=glance&n=172282\n\nAlso, MP3 players targeted to kids tend to have larger buttons, like this one:\n\nhttp://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/maxfield-maxjoy-mp3-player-for-the-wee-ones-162132.php

20... thats 2^20...1048576 bytes...some companies say 1,000,000 bytes to make their hardrives/flash memory seem bigger but 1048576 or 2^20 is technically the most accurate answer...

Instead of telling us how long it is tell us how many MB it is.\n\nIf it's more than 100MB then there's your answer.\n///

I would assume you got that on ebay from hong kong...they compress the drive to make it hold more and when you format it you take it back to its orriginal/correct size....you got screwed! I have not figuered out how to make it take 2 gigs again....I run a computer shop and I just had a customer with the same problem.\n\n-Doc-

USB flash drives are NAND-type flash memory data storage devices integrated with a USB interface. They are typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable. Memory capacity typically ranges from 128 megabytes up to 64 gigabytes [1], limited only by current flash memory densities, although cost per megabyte increases rapidly at higher capacities due to the expensive components. For example, as of October 2006, flash drives were available in retail stores at US$25 for 512MiB, US$35 for 1GiB, US$60 for 2GiB, US$100 for 4GiB, and US$160 for 8GiB. [citation needed]\n\nUSB flash drives have several advantages over other portable storage devices, particularly the floppy disk. They are more compact, generally faster, hold more data, and are considered more reliable (due to their lack of moving parts) than floppy disks. These types of drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.\n\nA flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board encased in a robust plastic or metal casing, making the drive sturdy enough to be carried about in a pocket, as a keyfob, or on a lanyard. Only the USB connector protrudes from this protection, and is usually covered by a removable cap. Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing them to be connected directly to a port on a personal computer.\n\nMost flash drives are active only when powered by a USB computer connection, and require no other external power source or battery power source; they are powered using the limited supply afforded by the USB connection. To access the data stored in a flash drive, the flash drive must be connected to a computer, either by direct connection to the computer's USB port or via a USB hub.
