USB Drive (Lexar 2GB Jumpdrive) or Do I go for U3 Technology?
GTD Wannabe | Apr 8 2006
Looking for advice here. I'm thinking about getting a USB drive. I'm looking at the Lexar 2GB Jumpdrive, which seems like a nice size, and supposedly comes with good sync software. Or maybe a PNY 4 GB drive, which is just slightly more expensive, but no syncing software. But then I thought, hmmmm, maybe I should be getting into the new U3 software/hardware? (see http://www.u3.com/ for more info if you've never heard of it.) Anyway, any advice on any of these three options would be much appreciated. This sort of a lark for me, since I have a laptop, but I thought it would be smart to have my critical stuff on a usb drive, for the next time my motherboard goes, or if I want to travel without bringing the laptop. Thanks :) 7 Comments

Well, I guess it depends on what you are trying to do. I'm assuming since you linked to the U3 site that you are a Windows user. (It says Plug into any windows PC...) If you are looking to carry apps and such around, the U3 seems like a good choice. If you are just looking to carry some docs and such around, my advice is smaller is better. I have a 256MB PNY drive and I have never gotten close to filling it up, so 2GB sounds like plenty to me. Your needs may be different. Good synching software is really important, but it's readily available and as such shouldn't be a determining factor in your purchasing decision. » POSTED IN:
