Default Size

Which flash drive size do you think is most useful? I'm pretty sure that some of the "cheaper" drives are approaching being too small to be of any use. What are the largest sizes that are made (out of curiosity)?

Largest are 4Gig and probably even more by now. Not being a big file transferer, I'd say that 1GB is quite good, but for safety's sake, I'd say that 2GB is quite sufficient for me.

2GB works fine for me. I actually looked into upgrading but after doing some research, saw little point in it for the moment.

Most users really don't need more than a couple hundred megs, so a gig is usually a decent deal for the average person.

Cool, thanks for the input, guys. I really need to get one of these so I can work on my projects both at home and at the library.

Slash, would you believe there are six and eight gig sticks out there? I came across them when I was searching promo materials last night.

I think we will see much higher capacity USB sticks soon. At present I think the price for high capacity USB disks are high which is expected to go down with more and more people going for USB sticks.
