I'm looking for a 64gb flash drive. on eBay I've seen prices all over the map from $20 - $299. I'm tempted by the $20 ones, but I know those are fake (I've been bitten too many times by fake memory)

So, I ask, does anyone have suggestions for inexpensive sources for flash drives? (known-good ebay sellers work too, I've learned feedback is only slightly better than worthless as only 1 out of 200 will say "fake drive!" (probably bc most of them have never filled the drive to capacity and seen it was fake...))

Kingston 64GB DataTraveler 200 USB Flash Drive - DT200/64GB
$141.97 with free shipping

Not super cheap, but you shouldn't have to worry about the seller or authenticity of the item. Considering that the 16GB drives are generally around $30, $142 isn't that steep for such a huge capacity.
 
crap! for that $$$ I can get an actual 64gb PCIe SSD for my netbook! (though to be honest I have no clue the R/W speeds on USB vs PCI-e drives)

I may end up dropping back to a 32gb... I want one that will hold Office, Apache/php/MySQL, and WoW though (and wow's currently @ 18gb and sure to go up in a month or three when the next expansion is released...) so I'm a little scared even of a 32gb...

oh and I realize the $/gb is reasonable, it's just the sheer cost the drive. (really pisses me when I can get a 2tb desktop drive for less!)
