If you mean a flash drive, I've had great luck with this Kingston 8GB:

It does not matter, they're all the same. Get the one you like the best look wise.

at my 1st job out of college back in 98, my duty once a week was to drive around town and collect the precious zip drives from clients and service bureaus. we had a signout sheet and everything. then all zip disks were backed up to the mighty jazz drive. i came up in the wrong fucking era.

Got a pile of zip drives for you. Man, crazy to think, but they were essential at one point.
Hard to imagine an 8GB flash drive will be archaic at some point too (can't wait for trying to organize things then!).
On topic, I've never had a problem with all the sandisk flash drives I have (I like the retractable head)

speeds are pretty friggen amazing. id go express instead of raid for bang for buck. Not to mention performance of non raid systems and regular drives is about 130mb
raid pricey but also fast raid benchmark
- of course usb3.0 needed to push that 40mb boundarydeathboy

^ It wasn't a Mac virus it was a technical fault of Zip drives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cli…You're zip drive gets fucked, you put a disk it, it click a lot. Then! it fucks the disk so the next drive you put that disk in gets fucked too. It's like a mechanical virus haha
