Which flash drive?

[Wendig0]

My dad wants a larger flash drive from a 1gb that hes using. He needs atleast a 4gb but I've seen some 8gb in his price range on newegg ($30).

I was looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220251

I know some of the 8gb are cheaper but I would rather have a faster transfer rate then a slow one.

It needs to be atleast 4gb, fast, around $30, and reliable. Thx, I'm having such a bad time deciding on it because I hardly know anything about flash drives so I need some help. Thanks.

I think the one he has right now is this one http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1919)-SDCZ6-1024-A10-SanDisk_Cruzer_Micro_1GB_Black.aspx

Just bought an 8gb Sandisk cruzer micro from Office depot for around $80 (this weeks special deal). So far so good, works very well for my purposes. The drive appears to be kinda cheap plastic, but then again I won't carry it on my keychain or abuse it.

The speed is fine, but I really haven't tested it. Speed is not the reason I bought this drive, I can download a movie on it and play it back using VLC with absolutely no problem. One more note, after playing around with it, a 1gb file takes longer to write to the disk than 4gb files which is normal from what I have researched.
