Check out simpletech, I got a neat thing called bonzai from them.
Instead of being stuck with the storage space in a normal USB pen this uses secure digital / Multi-media cards.

Cool

Silly billy. With this kind of thing, branding is just a waste of money. I mean, it's solid state, so nothing really to go wrong. It'll either work, or it wont - and if it doesn't, just send it back and get another one.

And the two Sony MicroVaults I have have already failed. One after about two hours and the other after about three weeks.

Both have cracks in the casing and the first one, the usb connector has detached and the second has just stopped working full stop.

komplett.co.uk have some cheap USB 2 pen drives, they are also much smaller than the Sony ones. Less than £100 for 512Mb if I remember right.

Thumbs up

A couple of the lads here @ work have the 512Mb drives. I think they bought them from Dabs. Weren't the cheapest, but they've been flawless.
