No matter how much you attempt to belittle me or my attempts to assist you, I'll still offer what useful knowledge I have.
And that is this:
The Corsair Flash Voyager GT is the fastest consumer flash drive that I've run across, and can still be had in 4-16GB Configurations from various websites (Froogle it)
The Patriot Xporter XT is a very close second (2 Mbps slower both ways), and has been on my keychain for several months. It is widely available online and in several retailers.
Brands to stay away from include anything by LG, certain Kingston drives (Specifically the cheap DataTravelers), Sony (As always, overpriced junk), and Emprex/Envision.
