Journal bhtooefr's Journal: NOOOOOOOOO! 5
I got bit hard in the ass by Murphy's Law last night
I went to fix a spyware-infested system, plugged in my trusty Lexar JumpDrive Elite 128MB (yes, calling out the exact model - it's not an ad - read on), and NOTHING. I then plugged it into my laptop (good thing I brought it with me - I ended up using it a LOT), and only got "USB Device not recognized" errors. DAMN IT!
So, here's my question: What, in your experience, is the best drive I can get? It has to be something Wal-Mart has in a physical store (because I've got $50 locked in a gift card), and it cannot be Lexar brand (I've been burned twice by dying Lexar drives). Their product page for USB drives is http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product_listing.gsp?bti=0&cat=183488&dept=3944&path=0%3A3944%3A3951%3A182278%3A183488&sb=79&sdir=sasc&sortBySelectedIndex=1&showAll=true&selected_items=na. I'm looking hard at the SanDisk Cruzer Mini 256MB, but want to know other people's experiences.
EDIT: I ended up getting the SanDisk drive I had been looking at, but used other Christmas money to get it from Office Depot instead ($3 to enter a $10 prize lottery? I'll bite!)

I personally own one of those USB-memory-in-a-watch devices. It looks just like the Edge model sold by Walmart but is sold under a different brand name (I don't have it on me, so I can't check; it was ~$60 when I bought it). I've owned it for close to two years and it has never let me down, no matter to how much abuse I've subject

This thing is unbelievable! Retractable plug, no cap to loose. Waterproof, resistant to caustic substances, crush-proof up to 2000 lbs.
Awesome!
