What do you guys reccomend? I want at least 1 gig. Newegg has alot of good reviews on the corsair but I may want larger. Ive never owned one but I want something I can take to work with my stuff on it.

The PNY attache 1GB sticks we have at work are somewhat slow when copying multiple files. The SanDisk Cruzer Micro 1GB sticks are much faster. They both have the same read speed. I also have several sandisk micro/mini drives for personal use, and those are fast as well (512mb and 2gb).
 
I have a Cruizer Micro and I really like it. Mine is only the 1gb version, though.
 
I like those mini cruzers. I may shoot for one. At least a 1 gb though.
 
I got a pny attache 2gig on the cheap, and it does everything I want it to. It may be a bit slower than the others, but I'd never notice.

As long as you go with something with no moving parts you can't really go wrong. Check out the warranty info, and I'd pick it by that more than anything.
 
I hear the 4gb models have issues (any brand). As a workaround to the slowness of the attache pny drives, we just zip our workspaces before copying them.
 
I use a PNY Attache 128 MB. I just got a 2 GB Attache from a relative for my birthday (big waste of her money IMO), seems to be good, but I don't use it for anything.

The Sandisk cruzers are very nice, I'd get one of those if you were going to get a new one. They are also tough bitches (just like this attache, which has been abused to hell and back).

And while I almost never recommend against buying something, I would not recommend buying a Sony USB drive - I've had two in the past, two different models. They had flimsy construction, and died randomly after a week of usage. Unluckiest I've ever been with electronics.
