I'm interested in getting a thumb drive in the 1 GB range. I wanted to get a Corsair Flash Voyager GT. But it's not Korean, so it's not available here. So I've resigned myself to getting something of lesser quality.

Does anyone know any decent ones with pretty good transfer rate? LG and Imation seem to be pretty popular, but they don't tell the transfer rates on the packaging.

What one needs to be concerned with are the read/write speeds. Typically, thumb drives choke on small file transfers as well; copy a mass of .doc files and you will see the men and the boys clearly.

Although I cannot recommend one brand in particular, I will say that from my experience, you get what you pay for. A balance between buying a name and a quality product is the go.

Google some of the products you are considering. LG drives have a write speed of 8.0MB/sec and read 10MB/sec. From the LG USA site...perhaps the Korean products are different. However, googleing in Korean would work...the numbers are in number.

Also consider just getting an SD card and a USB caddy. It's a tiny bit bigger than a keychain drive but you can use your SD card in a range of other devices (digital camera, pda, even some laptops have built in card slots now).

If you want to get a little more than just a thumb drive you can get one that also plays mp3s such as Samsung/Yepp and M-Cody.

Here's my old mp3/thumb drive :

I'm looking for something with a good read/write speed. Since I'll be transferring small files and using portableapps. The Korean USB thumb drives are only about 10 mb/s which isn't that great.

What's the speed like for an SD card or mp3 thumb drive?
