Okay, so today, I was at Staples. (Office store for the some of you that are unaware). And, I saw a flash drive, it was a Verbatin U3 Smart Drive-1GB. So, I'm wondering if I shuld get this for the autorun mechanism. Except, I'm not sure how good the drive will be. I was hoping to get a Kingston U3 Smart Drive for the same purpose, but I can't find them around locally. Has anyone had any major problems with a Verbatin drive? I always buy there Recordable DVD's for rando purposes cause they're nice and cheap, and they work fine.
The drive can be read about hear...

Sounds like nobody has had any problems with it.
Thanks so much for all of your input.
ye want U3, it is just a con to deceive ignorant people of their money.
It's not any good at all. My brother has one. I just wanted to get it for the Autostart function, and try out the password protection thing with truecrypt. I'd uninstall U3 and put PortableApps on for sure.
I forgot about that, but yeah U3 is only good because we can hack it and put anything we want on it.
I'll go but it in a couple of days, and find out what I can do with it. And then scratch off that hideous U3 logo.
Can you imagine, a PortableApps logo. Maybe sometime if John gets a deal to have it loaded on to flash drives.
You can find a cheaper one. o.o I got my 4 GB Sandisk for $60. Of course it was on sale. Normal price was around $130.
You should be able to get a 1 GB for around $20.
Depends where you live.. I'm just using the U3 Menu myself >.>.. Nothing wrong with it..
If your not stuck on Sandisk or U3, you can get a 2GB CORSAIR Flash Voyager GT for 27.99 on NewEgg.
I just ordered the 8GB model, it got great reviews.

Sounds good too. I'll check it out. Wow, 8 gigs, that's what I want someday.
I think I will probally get that one, I just wanna make sure with buying online, where'd you bought it from NewEgg.com? And you got it in how long? Just wanna check, I'm a little weary with online buying.
