USB Flash Drive Round-up

Adam writes "Ars has published a massive USB 2.0 Hi-speed Flash drive roundup, with 10 USB 2.0 flash drives that they've tested on three OSes. They rate the drives by performance, durability, and features/accessories (including the crappy software that no one uses). Definitely a good read for anyone who has recently sat on their USB thumbdrive!"

Obligatory

They seem to have neglected this flash drive that comes with a free MP3 player [apple.com].

I think the only thing good for someone who did that would be a first aid kit...

It might take 10 days to make its first appearance on slash, but you can be sure it will be back tomorrow.

Shouldn't that be called a "Bumdrive" now?

In all seriousness, though, I've been trying to find reviews on the Creative Labs MuVo TX FM 1GB. I'm very interested in getting one, but I want to hear if anyone's encountered issues with it. Tom's Hardware had a glowing review of the MuVo TX (non-FM), and their only gripe seemed to be the lack of an FM radio.

Anyone here own one? Seen a review? Heck, *written* a review? Link me please :)

Washed and dried in my pants pocket and didn't lose any data or have any problems. Can't get any better than that.

Re:out of style faster than the floppy

Are you on crack? You say "out of style faster than the floppy"

I assume that you are talking about the floppy disc that I have been using since the end of the 80s and still occasionay use.

By your argument the usb drive will last ONLY 20 years!

I can recommend using you pockets to store things. They come with the possibility to upgrade to V2.0 pockets with 600% capacity on the new McHammer Deluxe models.

On the other hand, their products work great as entropy sources for hardware PRNG acceleration.

Sure, it worked great for me until I got this in my data stream:
