Dane Elec DA-ZMP2-1024-R 1GB PenDrive

Bought one for my wife's new laptop. It is fantastic. It works great....you can even download drivers for windows 98 which is what I use at work. Highly recommend!

I have several Sandisks, and this brand (new to me) compares favorably. It is about 1/2 inch shorter, not that it matters that much. It is also a bit fatter, so if you have this thing in a USB slot and something else in a neighboring slot, it kind of smushes up against the other one, but they will both still fit. The lanyard it comes with is a woven steel cable in a clear plastic housing. Honestly, I have never seen the reason for putting a flash drive on a lanyard, so I suggest you use it for something else.

Very good thing: this thing comes without nag screens, pre-installed software, U3 whatever. The memory is entirely clean and empty. For this reason alone, I think in the future all of the flash drives I buy will be this brand.

Postscript
This little thing safely went through the clothes washer in a pocket. I took off the cap and let it dry out for 2 days. Good as new.

I bought this product last December and I have used it regularly. I sincerely haven't found anything bad about the product. I still don't understand why it is so inexpensive compare to other products of similar characteristics. It could be that is it slower than the other but I have compared it to other USB2 Drives and they all have pretty much have the same speed. I have used it in a Thinkpad (IBM/Lenovo), Dell and clones and it has worked perfectly.
