Which USB Drive should I buy?

I am currently considering purchasing a new USB flash drive (I currently have a 1GB Memorex Mini TravelDrive U3). I am trying to decide between a 4GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT and 4GB SanDisk Cruzer Titanium. Which will open PortableApps programs faster? Thank you.

If it was up to me...

If it was up to me, I would choose the SanDisk. But don't just go on my opinion.

Geil David

Has the 2Gb Geil David fallen out of favour? I was just about to order one. As far as I know it's still the only 2-channel usb flash device which can read and write simultaneously (= fast for Portable Apps)

I have

I have 2 Memorex 1gb u3 flashdrives and they haven't failed me yet. SO I say stick with memorex because it isn't live then it isn't memorex (Memorex Slogan I think)

Slogan

The actual slogan is "Is it live or is it Memorex?" It used to be just "Is it live?"

I'd go with the Corsair

I'd go with the Corsair Flash Voyager GT.
Mainly because I already own the 8GB model and am really happy with the speed.
Previously I have had the Sandisk Cruzer Titanium, Sandisk Cruzer Micro, and a Sony cant remember the model.

I would probably go with SanDisk or Apacer (amazing speed and lasts long).

Well, that's similar to what I said, and, well, things didn't turn out too well.

Thank you all for your

Thank you all for your advice. I decided to go with the Corsair Flash Voyager GT (Thanks to SmithTech, my dad, and my research). I must say it runs very much faster than my Memorex unit. I also did purchase a Sandisk Titanium for my sister on her birthday, and am hoping to introduce her to the wonderful world of PortableApps.
