8GB Flash Drive Suggestions?

No, I have seen some bad reviews too. I have had mine for over a year and just love it. I have portable apps on it and all kinds of stuff. I have nothing but good to say about the Cruzer.

The LED is weird. It really does no good. Mine just fades in and out all the time. That may be a down side for some but I don't care. It' works fine.

That Kingston Hyper X is really good if you can afford it. Mine really a 16GB and it rules.

The Cruzer is nice though. There are so many out there. I have some PNY drives I love. They come with caps you can loose (although I have not lost mine in years)

The PNY ones are highly recommended by me. The LED on those really work good and they are pretty fast. I use those as boot drives for installing Windows.

Thanks but I was looking for specific recommendation. Not a walmart list of em. :P

Sorry,
You never mentioned anything about that...

I assumed that your only requirements were:

a new Flash Drive, preferably 8gb
want your feedback as well.
will look at any other options.
below a total cost of $25.

My personal specific NON-recommendation would be SanDisk:
I installed XP Pro on a 16 gigger, and it was the slowest dog of any USB-stick that I ever worked with.
By my nature, I am extremely patient concerning most things.
Running the OS on SanDisk was, in my words, EXCRUCIATING...
Took both sticks back to Costco for refund, paid $40 more, and grabbed a 1.5 tera USB HDD instead. (Exactly $109 U.S. plus tax)

Good luck with your choice.

I must admit the more I think about all my flash drives, the Sandisk Cruzer IS my LEAST favorite. I like the PNY drives and the Kingston (Hyper-X) they make crappy ones too))

These are the brands I have.

Lol

I meant Kingston makes bad ones. haha but the Hyper-X is GREAT.

The Hyper-X is VERY nice.
The higher end PNY ones are very nice too.

That last post is confusing at best. I was working.

I use to just buy whatever I saw. But now I've been starting to buy things after reading reviews, if it has many/few/no issues, etc. =P
