After reading Lifehacker's Guide to "The Portable Hackintosh", I decided it would be worth a try. So now I am back in the market for a 16 GB flash drive. After reading around, and asking a few questions, I have acquired some information that will help me in my quest.
1. Buy Sturdy: You want a good encasing, not something that will break easily.
2. Good Key Ring: Should fit nicely on a key ring for easy access.
3. Don't Buy from Best Buy: I am in no way telling you not to, but it was said in all the places I was looking. The people said that Best Buy over charges.
4. Shop Online First: Don't just go into any store without researching, make sure you have shopped online first. There is a good chance that it will be on sale on a website, or just cheaper, then in stores.Doing this can save you money, and get a great deal on flash drives. It may be time, if you haven't already, to upgrade to a better flash drive. Floppy Disks are a thing of the past, and 1 GB of memory is the minimum now. If you use less then that, or use a Floppy Disk, I suggest upgrading.

Great list, especially number 3. I don't think I've ever found something that was actually cheaper at Best Buy.
ReplyDeleteI would add that it's important to have some kind of cover for the USB end of the stick, preferably something built-in.
