My employer is nice enough to supply us with a flash drive for work use. The model given to me is a 2gb drive that is FAST. Trouble is, I've had to have it replaced twice in the last 6 months. The first time, it started throwing up errors while accessing files until it totally died a few days later. The second time, the USB connector snapped off. I've been given the green light to get a new one; but want to go with something durable. Speed is not so much a concern as durability. Anyone have a favorite brand or model that's held up well?

John,

I have had good luck with Micro Advantage, San Disk and PNY brand drives.

From a durability standpoint, models with a cover rather than the ones that slide into the case are better.

I've used the Sandisks and Kingston flash drives with good success myself, the Kingston is quite old and only 256meg; but solid. Funny you sent the newegg link, that's where we purchased it from!
