Hello,
I'm interested in buying a USB memory stick of 4/8GB.
I'm mainly aiming for fast data transer rate: 24MB/s Read (And Higher) 18MB/s, Write (And Higher)
I want to be able to copy fast onto the USB stick, all those DivX/Xvid anime and games I download at my work pc.
This Kingston stick looks good, but it's only 4Gigs:

http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/partsinfo.asp?root=us&LinkBack=http:/...TII+M/4GB&id=1
Or this 8Gig stick, but it’s slow:
Read 9-10 MByte/s, Write 2 MByte/s.

So, which specific stick do you guys recommend?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I've decided to go with this:
CORSAIR Flash Voyager GT 8GB Flash Drive
Mainly for its great speed:
Read speed: 34MB/s
Write speed: 27MB/s
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233054
The 16GB version looks cool, but it’s too slow Especially write speed:
Read speed: 22MB/s
Write speed: 7MB/s
However, after reading through some reviews regarding the Corsair rubber USB sticks, I noticed quite a few people claming that the cap is too loose, it can easily fall off and get lost. Once it's gone, the USB connector can brake easily:

The rubber casing is easily removable and runs risk of exposing inside of drive.

So, is that's true?
If that's the case I might go for a simpler Kingston stick out of hard plastic which I've tried and are great.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance -
Somehow the prospect of losing those lame Corsair Caps did go too well and the 16Gigs just weren’t enough for my needs, so I bought one of these cool External WD 250Gig USB drives!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136139
It’s very light, about as much as a regular cell phone.
Very fast (I’ve achieved 33MB/s transfer rate (Write/Read)
Very quite (I don’t even notice it when it’s working)
And it’s very sleek in design.
The coolest thing is that you don’t even need extra power adapters, its powered straight from the USB port and yeah you just can’t beat 250Gigs!
Me Happy!
However, I’m not sure if it will work well (if not at all) on the older USB 1.1 ports, will it get enough power?
