SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro U3 USB 2.0 Flash Drive — 

This flash drive is a good value for the amount of storage space provided.  I picked up for under $20.  The drive itself is convenient because it is small and with the retractable USB connector you don't have to worry about losing the caps like other flash drives I've owned.  

The U3 software available was a nice option for keeping a calendar on hand rather than carrying my PDA, but when I recently upgraded the home computer with one that contains MS Vista, I found that it would not recognize the drive due to imcompatibility with the U3 software.  The only workaround I could find in searching was to remove the U3 functionality on an XP system I have access to.  Because Sandisk has yet to provide a fix for this issue, I would not recommend to most people unless you have access to other computers when it comes time to upgrade to Vista since the U3 removal tool will not work on Vista since it does not recognize the drive when the software is on it.

This U3 USB device works with MS Vista if you right-click the LauncerU3.exe file then 'Run As Administrator'.
