Can anyone recommend a fast 16gb thumb drive or large to me. Corsair Flash Survivor are nice. Any other recommendations?

My best is an OCZ Diesel 16GB. I tested all of my drives with CrystalDiskMark.

My next fastest drive had a similar read speed but about half the write speed. Admittedly, all of my drives are on the cheap side. I've never tried a Corsair.
I always got cheap drives, and eventually I got an external 2.5" HDD, which has way more space and fast.
Or if you have a ton of spare change to spend, maybe you could look at the Kingston DataTraveler 310, which can hold 256GB.
On a related note, I think I'll need more space soon (my 16GB is only 5 months old, and it's already almost out of space-so much for being liberal). Are there any good 32GBs out there? Right now I'm staring long and hard at the Padlock 2.
