Newegg has the Crucial 4GB Gizmo! Plus Flash Drive on sale for $9 with free shipping. It looks like it has a cap that you'll quickly lose for sure. Covered by a 2-year warranty.

  • Crucial JDOD8GB-730 8GB Flash Drive = $15 with free shipping.

      One of the reviews said:
      "Cons: -+- The lanyard hole is on the cap, not the body of the USB drive."

      Not useful for hooking up to your key chain because if the cap falls off, you will lose the USB drive.

      Otherwise its got good reviews.

      If you keep your drive on your key ring, I guess the data isn't that critical. Why not tape it to the bottom of your shoe?

      Forget losing the cap, just make sure not to use these after midnight or drop them in water.

      Hey besides losing the cap the actual drive is a good drive. Relatively fast and I have never had a problem.

      Ugh, #3. That joke is posted EVERY time one of these drives comes up. How about some new material>

      I have one of these. The first one arrived DOA. I RMAd it and got another, it just continually mounts and unmounts in the computer. Just like the first one. Maybe its my machine, but why does every other flash drive work just fine? I will never buy another crucial drive again. Its too bad. Their ram is generally really good.

      I wish they would rate flash drives for read and write speed. It's amazing how slow some of these are.
