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

I must say, the only thing I've enjoyed about the U3 stuff is the icon they put in the task bar allowing for easy access to the programs. I don't actually use any of them, but the ability to quickly browse to the drive has been useful. I also want to see how easily you can add items to the u3 menu system. If it's not too difficult, I want to add a menu item to my GTDTiddlyWiki index file. I put my wiki on a thumbdrive so I can carry it with me wherever I go. » POSTED IN:
