Flash drives are one of the most convenient methods for data storage and transfer. These memory devices provide fast and simple mobile solutions for plug-and-play capabilities on PC’s and Mac’s — access your files virtually anywhere.

At one point, I used to think I could simply use my Yahoo! mail account to store files. But I learned that the file size is limited, there’s the inherent risk of online security, and, of course, an Internet connection is required to access the files. This auction provides a whopping 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive — plenty of storage capacity. By the way, there are currently three USB speeds — USB 1.0, USB Full Speed 2.0 and USB Hi-Speed 2.0 — and you should always look for the hi-speed option with ”backwards compatibility.” Keep your eyes open for a Super-Speed 3.0, speculated to be released by Intel mid 2008.
