NewEgg.com has the Kingston 8GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $19 - $5 code EMCBBBJBG [Exp 11/24] = $14 with free shipping. It has the old design with a losable cap, and is covered by a 5-year warranty.

    I have one and it works great. Def a losable cap, though.

    this price isn't very good. Newegg recently had an OCZ 16GB flash drive on sale for $12.

    still too expensive, these flash drive or any memory card should be each gig per dollar

    Great, white-so it looks just like my 1GB Data Traveler.

    aesthetically displeasing, inconvenient cap, and not that great of a deal. PASS.

    Umm, whats the big problem with the cap? When you take the cap off you stick it on the other end. I've been using these Kingston drives for a couple of years and haven't lost a cap yet.

    not "aesthetically displeasing" ? So it needs to look spiffy to store data?

    I'm with RepoMan. I haven't lost any caps. I take them off and throw them in a drawer. Don't need no stinkin' caps.

    Ditto #9 and #11. The cap is no problem. I just put it on the other end now. When I had my first one of these, I lost a cap, and emailed Kingston, asking for a new cap. They sent me three new caps, no charge, and pointed out how the caps easily go on the other end when not in use (like a pen). Haven't lost one since.

    Kingston flash drives are very reliable. The three that I use have gone through hell and survived.
