Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
take a look around the forums. there are some good experienced posts. this knowledge may give you want you need to purchase.
personally, comp usa had an internet ad special on the san disk 256megs mini cruzer for $50 (nice i thought). i decided to get this for school. to say the least it has been a good performer (even though better ones do exist and more costly) and very convienant form of storage.
one thing to note about the filesystem. always use fat with a flash drive. it is the fastest and the accessibility is on all os's that read fat and have usb mass drive support-mac os, linux, win 9x, win 2000, win xp, etc..
