| Hi all. I was thinking of getting a USB Pen Drive. It means I could finally get rid of all of my floppy disks. Anyway I have had a look different makes and bascially other than size and USB speed they all seem to be exactly the same. Is this true? or is there lots of info that I have missed somewhere? Finally, If not is there a "good" make to go for?

| There's one other thing you should be researching : data throughput. Although some of them claim to be USB2.0 compatible (which is around 400MB/sec !), none of them can actually read/write that fast.

| What Mr. Belvedere says is true. Lost month (or is it already 2 moths ago??) there was an article in a Dutch computer magazine (ref. Computer!Totaal) where some USB sticks where tested. And there was a big difference in speed (both writing and reading), but I can't remember which brand was tested best.

| Cheers you two. I think I saw some info in through speed. I think the one I saw this on was USB 1 with through speeds of 600kbs write and 3mbs read or something like that. Hmm. Bit more research to do. Thanks.

| The more research I do the more choice I have and the less I know which one to pick. The ones I like though are, Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra Creative Nomad MuVo TX MPIO FD100 MPIO FL100 Strictly only the Creative Nomad MuVo TX is a pen drive but all of them have the option of storing infomation on them. Thanks for the info you lot posted. I think I am going to have to put this purchase on hold untill I decide waht I really want this device really to do.
