Help Me Pick a Thumb Drive

[PVTCaboose1337]

I have recently lost my favorite thumb drive. It was only 1gb, and about a 3 years old. I now need a new one with the following requirements:


4 - 8 gb
Will be carried on a keychain in pocket for 10 hours in a day (MUST BE STRONG)
Must be relatively fast
Under $90


I trust you guys can help me with this. Also, I want to order it from Newegg preferably.

Edit: Also I am going to grab this tonight, as school without a thumb drive is painful.

Any specific brands?

Any specific brands?

Ram companies are my favorites (OCZ, Corsair, Transcend, etc) But I really don't care as long as the above requirements are met. I am leaning towards this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233027).

I also have the 4GB version of the rally2 and can vouch for that one. Can also find it on special for about $24

Edit: didn't see you needed it NOW.

K ima go for that. If anybody says no, better say so in the next 5 min.

that atv or whatever that uber durable drive that w1zz reviewed a while back performed preety freaking well and you can fuck it up preety damn well and still have it work.

[PVTCaboose1337]

Problem is all the ATV drives are sold out...

I believe Random has this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233027), and I'd got to say its pretty nice!

As for my dad.. he has a few of these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208094) that he uses around the power plant...

[PVTCaboose1337]

The reviewed on the one random said "flimsy" and I bought the other one you suggested so I think i'm good!

[Cold Storm]

Nice! glad that you got something! yeah, its seems that way, but its a pretty nice setup for the price he spent... and dad uses those for nuclear power plants and hasn't said that its f'd yet... just everyone elses does.! lol

you could always get a geeksquad 4gb once you remove that U3smart crap they are actually quite nice i have a 2gb and i use it at school everyday not one issue yet. its pretty fast IMO to.

In case anyone is interested more in capacity rather than sheer speed here's an 8 gig thumb drive for $30

I've had it for about that past week and haven't noticed any speed differenece between this and my 2 gig Kingston flash drive.
