Hi, I was wondering, where are some good deals for flash drives. I would just want a 128MB one, to transfer networking setup files, Word files and pictures basically. Does anyone know, (I am trying to set up a wireless network) how much space a wireless network setup files takes up on a flash drive. Windows recommomends a flash drive, and I dont have one yet, but im afraid if I but a 128mb (even though that seems like enough) it may go over. I know, mega noobish, but its better safe than sorry. Any help? Thanks! Hello

I just saw a 256MB Lexar at Fry's Outpost for $28

Get the biggest one you can afford - they are dropping in price all the time & you'll always regret not having just that bit more space. Also, go for a branded one from a reputable supplier - there have been instances of cloned Kingston drives appearing which do not format properly & cause all sorts of hassles.

Try this site. It lists all the sales for computers, memory, add ons, etc. each week. http://www.salescircular.com/

www.ebuyer.com is a good site for these. JohnR is right though make sure you get a branded one as the tech support is usually better if something goes wrong and in my experience they are generally more reliable. Also make sure it is USB 2.0 because it is much faster. Matt www.bbcomputing.co.uk matt@bbcomputing.co.uk

Remember when XP was issued 64Mb was a big flash. I would doubt if you would have any trouble at 128. Big RAM, USB2, branded, may all be desirable, but all add to the cost. Don't get carried away - get something cheap and cheerful, and if you find it really useful you will then know how big you want to go for your next one. Just a thought - if you have a digital camera that plugs into USB and shows as a drive, you can use that as a flash drive.
