    With the Holidays upon us I found 64 gb jump drives at Best Buy for 27 dollars each.
    32 gb jump drives for 12 dollars and 16 gb drives for 6 dollars. I believe my current collection totals about a dozen Jump Drives...how many do you have? :cool:

    I have 5.

    32 MB of some brand I forget, its not nearby so I can't check. I actually use it occasionally for documents.
    1 GB Sandisk Cruzer (an early one before they put all that U3 crap on)
    2 GB MIMOBOT Ford Fiesta promotional one I got waiting in line for a live Diggnation show
    16 GB Patriot Dash (nice fast drive)
    16 GB Patriot Razzo (bought as replacement for the Dash when I thought I lost it, the Razzo is the biggest POS drive I've ever seen)

    I was late to the ballgame and started out with a 2GB Cruzer Micro.
    After getting a 16GB Cruzer Micro, I give the 2GB away.

    I loved the concept behind U3 apps but the U3 App Loader often does not work the way it should.

    Three that are actually mine - one 4GB, one 16GB and a 32GB I paid a few hundred dollars for a few years ago. Funny how cheap they are now.

    A cursory count puts mine at a half dozen: one 32gb, two 16gb, and three 1gb Kingstons. The Kingstons were giveaways at some work-related seminar I had to attend.

    I'm so clumsy and absent-minded, I think I've lost about the same number in the last two years or so.

    I use one in my SUV GPS with Sirius Radio, Media Music (USB, SD or iPod) Player from USB Touch Screen for music playback. I use about 16GB Toshiba stick. Got that back on 2011 cost me $19 and today for the same money I got 32GB by PNY for same price in 2012. Stick sizes ranges from:

    1GB thru 32GB

    I rarely use them though.. Portable USB3 HDD 500GB to 1TB is more ideal today for me if I need to carry more storage.
