Fastest 7077 Clean Install Method?

I'm using a simple, cheap little old SanDisk Cruzer Mini 4 GB and it works perfectly....

What does?

Here I have a Kingston Data Traveler 100 16gb model that still took the 20min. mark to see 7 installed. That was actually from running the installer while being in Windows to see the initial setup files copied over until the initial restart seeing the installer carry on from there. A solid 5min. for the file copy to drive first.

My dvd burner/reader died after the last windows 7 installation. I only used the dvd drive for windows installations, so instead of buying a new one. I'd rather buy a usb stick. I have been looking for a good 4gb flash drive for fast windows 7 installations. and those install times of 8 minutes people speak of appeal to me.

I've seen the OCZ ATV turbo 4gb benchmarked as fast. Do people have any recommendations for a 4gb + flash drive?

If you read the previous post, as I quoted above, then you see what I am answering...

I caught that one right off from constantly walking past the Sandisk brand often in retail stores. When first deciding one would be needed here I then started looking at capacity as well as the prices seen on some and looked at the 16gb as the go between there.
