SuperMediaStore.com has the 32GB A-DATA C801 Classic Series USB Flash Drive at a good price of $58 - coupon code MES10P [Exp 1/4] = $52 shipped. The cap snaps on to the body like a pen to give you a day or two more before you lose it.

    Go with a corsair or ocz for better performance.

    My A-Data 4GB USB-key is very slow and requires a lot of power to work. On my Toshiba laptop, I can't write files to it, although it reads what is already there fine. On my wife's tablet PC, it is unreadable and unwriteable. On my current desktop, it works on one of the rear USB ports or through a 3 foot USB extension cable, but not on the front ports nor through either powered USB 2.0 hub I use. On my Dell laptop, it works perfectly, except for being slow. On my wife's old desktop, it was readable through her USB 1.1 ports, but not writeable, but was readable and writeable through the 3-port USB card I popped in to one of her PCI slots. I will personally never buy another A-Data key, and hope to prevent others from similar mistakes.

    I have an A-Data 8gb, and it is horribly slow writing. Reads fairly quickly though, and I've had none of the other problems with it described by #2. I'd recomend one if you have some patience, but you should buy one for a bit more if you don't.

    Oh, and who the hell loses the caps from their drives? I've still got all of the drive caps for every flash drive I've ever owned, and I bought my first one in 2002.

    I will pass on this even though it looks like a nice deal. I do not want to loose the cap and then get another drive to replace the missing one Wink

    Did you lose your last flash drive? Stick a return-address label on the thing, then cover it with clear heatshrink tube to protect and secure it.

    The new MacLife magazine evaluated flash drives.

    A-data was the slowest

    Just got an 8 MG cheap, plugged it in, the green lite just flashes.

    No more A-data, most anything is better.
