    Wondering what is the best 4 Gig Flash Drive currently out there.

    Checked currently with the prices and everything fits my range. (Top $120)
    Preferably I need something that can last a while, take a few small hits, but overall can fit the life of your average college student.

    :D

    If you're using vista and wanna run readyboost then probably also one that is compatible with it.

    I'm partial to Cruzer Titaniums. They work great, even if you drop them or step on them (I've done both). They don't scratch up, either. No annoying usb caps to deal with. Just a really good flash drive.

    I agree on the Titaniums. Another good point for them is they actually fit nicely on a keyring, unlike Kingston or Corsair drives.

    I think there was a recent deal on a 4GB OCZ Rally USB drive.

    That's the one I was referring to. Incredible price for a 4GB USB flash drive. Thanks Chaz!

    does the OCZ Rally support U3 or should I even worry about that anymore.
