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

Thanks for all the comments thus far, especially Michael's link to the PCMag article; I hadn't seen that. So far, I've eliminated the U3 option. Now I just need to think about whether or not I really want/need the synchronization software of the Lexar, or if I should just go with the PNY. But the Lexar is so shiny and pretty... » POSTED IN:
