    Don't even need it, but for $3...Might just do it, especially since my local Walmart is only a mile away xD

    EDIT: Placed an order for the 8GB drive. Now I wonder what I'll use it for... :rolleyes:

    probably no cheap solution to raid these drives (in large quantity)

    probably no good solution to raid them (in large quantity) over a single usb port, regardless of cost.

    Did anyone notice that these drives also come from a free movie download (35 titles to choose from)?
