    Actually ferrit I think they were wanting to know of a site to find out what to buy and not do buy when looking for flash drives. Sadly I don't know of any.
    One Script to rule them all.
    One Script to find them.
    One Script to bring them all,
    and clean up after itself.

    Flash drives are flash drives are flash drives. There are just few decent manufacturers of flash memory, so virtually all are the same.
    Usually what you pay is what you get. Exceptions some ultra-expensive units that catch the attention of suckers.
    One thing to consider is the life of the flash, typically 100,000 writes. IMHO this is a non-issue as if you write a location 50x/day, every day, it will take 6 years to reach the 100,000 range. By then the new shiny 8GB drive will likely be long replaced by a 1TB drive...
