| 298106 | 2004-11-30 05:38:00 | I bought a PQI one a while back, cheap and good. I have found the PQI ones (red clear plastic case), and the A-Data ones very compact, and much more convenient than a bulkier one. |

| 298107 | 2004-11-30 05:42:00 | I agree :-) However we're talking a few mm here on the size of a matchbox... Not something I'd split hairs over, nor pay much more than a dollar extra for ;-) |

| 298109 | 2004-11-30 06:23:00 | Yes, all USB is backward compatable. Try reading the specs of each, to look for a difference. Or perhaps a Google (http://www.google.co.nz) could help :). | george12 (7) | ||

Yes, all devices listed as USB 2.0 are backwards compatable. 'USB 2.0' is just a mark/reminder.. of the transfer speed being 480Mb/sec (if I remember correctly). But off course, it won't always transfer at that maximum speed. I'd get USB 2.0 in your case, simply for slightly extra future-proof purposes. Maybe by the time you get a new PC, USB 3.0 may be out :) |

| 298111 | 2004-11-30 06:33:00 | USB 3.0? Goodness me! Following the same pattern as 1 -> 2, USB 3 should be 19,200MB/sec :p:D Cheers George |

| 298113 | 2004-11-30 06:36:00 | The jetflash-a and jetflash are both USB 2, they just look different. | Growly (6) | ||
| 298114 | 2004-11-30 06:51:00 | Transcend is a very good USB Flash, but these days, it doesn't really matter what you get, they're all of pretty good quality. Kind Regards, Squibler |

| 298115 | 2004-11-30 07:51:00 | I have a Lexar 256Mbyte Secure Jumpdrive from www.flashcards.co.nz - great service and good prices. If you use this drive in WIndows (I don't) you get a secure area for storage. |
