Fast & Small USB Drive?

[nikon_62]

OCZ brand usb sticks usually have very good read and write times. I bought a 4Gb from Newegg.com a while ago.

Look at the specifications tab for each one on Newegg. That will show you the read / write times for each one. Pick up one with the smallest numbers.

Unfortunately, they don't tell the specs.
And I don't know why more manufacturers don't make caps you can put on the end as well

[MrPopo]

I think they used to, but everyone lost the caps, so they gave up on it.

[racketboy]

But how do you lose the cap if you put it on the end when you use it?
I love the design of my current one -- its just so stinkin slow

You could always buy a new one and shove the guts into the old one's case.

If you google "benchmark"along with whichever thumbdrive/card you want to know about you'll find full specs.

Anapan, thanks! I visited that site and already found the perfect flash drive for RB.

I know this thread's a little old, but Ars Technica just posted a review of several large flash drives with performance testing. There's a very small drive with peppy performance that would be perfect for your needs, Racketboy.
