Well I quite well know that you can plug any ordinary USB drive in your nice MBP, but it really does not look nice on a well designed machine when a piece of ugly plastic sticks out.
SO Iwas lately browsing through a loacal electronics store after my old drive went dead( It was a 1.4GB microdrive in a brushed aluminiumcase so it fit well smile.gif ), and between all the plastic stuff I stumbled upon the Sandisk CRUZER Titanium.
Encased in a nice metalhousing it looks good when plugged in, and the Led even shines blue so fits well with the default tiger desktop smile.gif



You can get it in 1,2,4 GB
And it should withstand the worst beating:
Crush force exceeds 2000 lbs

their Ti. series has been around for awhile and i personally love the design and features, but not the cost. laugh.gif i did wish back then that they come up with a firewire version though. i would gladly have paid the premium for that.

Hmm dont think that €20-30 ist a lot for a memory stick.
Firewire is nice but as I ahve to exchange files with PC users which normaly dont have Firewire its not really an option. smile.gif

compared to other drives of similar specs., the Ti. Cruzer is considered a preimum. Just like those sony sticks. before the prices of memory came down, i believe you do recall that thumbdrives can be quite costly. but like you mentioned now, the price for the memory stick is at a more affordable cost.
