I read recently that thumbnail drives suffer tremendously when doing large small file transfers. For example, transferring a large number of .doc files significantly slows down the transfer rate.
I'm not sure how meaningful that is to you or anyone else here, but I know that I work with smaller files a lot, and indeed, do large quantity transfers when backing up my work. I suppose if time is of the utmost concern, one may want to do some homework before buying a flash drive.
The Kingston Datatraveler Secure is very high-performance, secure and extremely durable drive. Availability seems to be the issue.
Probably best to get a vanilla drive.
Personally, for that kind of file storage solution, I would want strong (256bit), on the fly hardware encryption in case I lost it.
I use an 80GB 2.5" laptop hard drive in an enclosure. Small, secure and usb port-powered makes it a great solution for me. Not as small or durable as a flash drive though.

i use http://www.gnupg.org/ for encryption. it's great~ |

| a couple of weeks ago I picked up a 4gb thumbdrive for 32,000. I went back to yongsan yesterday and picked up another for a friend. |
Can you tell us exactly where you got it? Would be interesting to know for others who'd like to get one... I'd like to! 
Also, how fast is it? I just checked 3 USB keys I have. I transfered the same 235 files (of all kinds) for a total of 333Mb into my USB keys and there are huge differences.
SanDisk Mini-Cruzer 512Mb
--> took about 1 minute 30 seconds.
Pine Excalibur 512Mb
-->took about 1 minute 40 seconds. 
No name 2Gb (it's in the shape of a chimney with Santa)
--> took just a little less than 10 MINUTES! 
That's why I'm asking how fast those 4Gb USB keys are. |

| CMR - it's a little slow and available everywhere. The brand is Memorive and it comes with stealth dokdo propaganda. |
