I can suggest Transcend JetFlash. It is small and the highest capacity is 8 gigabytes.

A ROM is, as indicated before, a Read Only Memory, most often a single chip or integrated circuit (IC).\n\nA Flash Drive (sometimes called pen drives, thumb drives, memory sticks, etc), is a collection of chips, that contains a flash memory chip or IC, most often an EEPROM (Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a small integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface electronics.\n\nThe difference between the flash drive's EEPROM and a regular ROM is that a vanilla ROM is usually "written to" at a manufacturing plant and it cannot be changed.  An EEPROM can be erased and re-written electronically, for example through the USB, which supplies the power to the flash drive.\n\nFlash drives can and do fail after certain amount of "flashes", or re-writing.

Take my word, purchase Maxtor One Touch 2. Its a 300Gb hard disk worth around $250. Its can handle loads upto of network file server. It has 7200 RPM disk speed with 16Mb Cache. Its the cheapest, and best in performance. I am a music video collector and have divided it into 6 partitions of 50 Gb Each. I purchased it to connect to my laptop. It is also pretty stable, has a long life. It can handle heavy server loads too. Before buying, I did a one month research on various factors. Just one word of precaution, don't buy Maxtor One Touch (250Gb), this is one Touch 2. In case you need to back up your files, you just need to press a button on the hard disk, and it back ups automatically.\n\nThe only one better than it is Sony 400 Gb hard disk, but its price is almost double and not that great enhancement in performance.\n\nAn interesting info, it is better than most laptop internal hard drives themselves.

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.

I've used all three a great many times and all three are just as good.\n\nI actually have 4 hard drives in my PCs, 600 gigs, 2 WD's and 2 Maxtor's.\n\nI would just go with whatever you can get the best price on.

Any recordable CD with enough capacity to hold all of the files.  The 80 minute/700MB discs are probably your best bet.

I like the Memorex mini Travel Drive 1GB which I got for $50 after a rebate.  It can run U3 applications and includes Thunderbird and McAfee anti-virus (I'm still not a fan of it but it came free with the drive), I have since installed Firefox and OpenOffice to the drive.  You can see more U3 applications here, http://software.u3.com/\n\nhttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7367609&type=product&productCategoryId=cat01049&id=1122653507363\n\nIt's not much of a deal when they aren't offering rebates on it.

I got a 128 mb Kingston.  It is the silver one.   Nice looking and no data has ever been lost.  If you have usb2, it can use that kind of port, so transferring files are fast.  If you can afford it, then get a 1 gb, or 4 gb.  But for saving files that don't amount to much memory, 128 mb is sufficent.   Kingston is the only one that I have ever used.  There is no splash screens that pop-up everytime you put the drive into the usb device, so that eliminates time wasted.

Do you mean a memory card that plugs into your USB port? If so that is flash memory, and yes it has a shelf life. It can only be rewritten so many times, then it gonzo. Look up MRAM in google. it is the newest thing comming out. It will be better then what we have now.

It depends on what you are going to use it for.  I would suggest a minimum 512MB.  1gb and higher are still a little on the pricey side.  Again if it is to store just word documents and stuff then 512 will be fine.  I use my 512 to keep programs(adaware, firefox, ...) I need when I fix computers.

As long as you have drivers for it, but that's old technology. You can get a larger storage thumb drive that works easier and faster for less than $50

Just about any brand of USB pen drive device driver should work.  Try this one:\n\nhttp://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downloads/USBFlashDrives/cruzer_family/Cruzer_Family_98SE.zip

My first mp3 player was a Sandisk that held about 300 songs.  It was pretty good for it's purpose - it was tiny and easy to bring to the gym.  They're probably one of the smallest I've seen and it was pretty cheap - maybe $80?  You should get the biggest memory that you can afford, just so you have room to keep adding songs! I've since bought an iPod though, and will never go back!!  Even the shuffle and nano are small and cheap enough in my opinion!
