it's not exactly $20 shipped... but close enough. I purchased some labels with it, they shipped everything for free..

Total cost: $35

Not quite as cheap as the Staples deal. But some good prices none the less.

Not crazy about Sony’s drives. I had a Micro Vault that turned into a security device and can’t fix it. No warning or explanation or help from Sony. Odd that its a Flash card. You need a card reader. I can’t find anything that talks about transfer speeds.

Scratch that. It does use a USB 2.0 port.

I've had a Lexar that I've used for years to the point I've worn the finish off it. I've dropped it in water, lost it in the back of my truck for 3 weeks, kept it on my keychain for nearly 5 years and it's still ticking without a problem. It's only 128 MB (which was big when I got it) and I have to delete shit off it all the time.

I hope this Sony one gives me the same type of service.

I like to think that Sony drives are of an exceptional quality. I've got 2 Lexar drives, 128MB and 1GB, and I agree, they're awesome. I don't know if the prices dropped any, but I paid like $70 for my 1GB drive in 2004.

Lexar 1 GB = $39.99

And thats kinda high it seems. I agree about Lexar's quality though.

Holy shit.. already got mine just now. It's fucking small as shit.

I dislike that it has no real case or cover.. just a plastic/rubber holster of sorts. Not at all 'convenient'. Almost a little bit on the feminine side with it's little cord.

I love that it's so fucking small though.. and holds like 15x the amount of my current one which is 10x the size.

MicroCenter has a 2GB FD for $17.98 shipped, but it's not a Sony (brand not specified).
