Looking into a new USB thumbdrive

I was looking at these two. The one in the second link that is about 8GB looks nice, and sounds like it would only cost around $49.99, but apparently it's sold out since it will only let me buy the 12GB.

Any other good ones worth suggesting? I just want something big for under $80. That's without shipping, of course.

I plan to throw some of my tech tools on it, since I only have two USB sticks at the moment. A 128MB and a 512MB.

Kind of old, but I bought an 8GB Corsair thumb drive back then. It was pretty expensive though, around a hundred dollars. I've been using it ever since and it works great for home and work.

Ironkey.com has some really awesome thumb drives aimed at security, but get ready to lay out some major cash. Watch the demo video and prepare to drool.

Tough to pass that up for the money. I had a coupon code that dropped it another $5, but it expired. I ordered one, needless to say.

I once bought an 8GB Sandisk Cruisar? Cruiser? It's the one which you slide to reveal the USB port. Got it for $30 off Amazon.com

What's cool is you can password protect it directly with it's built in software.

Depends how often you use it for non-data storage in a small amount of time...
