I don't like seeing so many "no name" flash drives on Amazon and elsewhere - name like Topesel, Koontion, and Pnstaw. And there are also drives that literally have no names. The prices are low, and I suspect the quality is, too. As for capacity, who knows? I've seen reports online about 1TB flash drives that have nowhere near that capacity. For such an inexpensive item, I'd gladly pay a few dollars more and get the real thing. Unfortunately, there are also counterfeits of the real thing.

I’ve always been leery of flash drives. I’ve never had one fail, I always lose them first. But, I hear that they have a high failure rate. I’ve not seen any empirical data on them, but if you hear it enough, you start to believe it. I really don’t see why they would be different than flas memory cards though. Maybe it’s because of their form, people tend to bang them around.
