have an external hard drive (120G) tho don't seem to be carrying about evry time
Just got a Sony  Digital music player (2G), well i guess i'll be using both to store data & music Wink
On a serious note i think LG (i.e if u got it from their store) & Kingston r good flash drives

if u bought it recently, they gba u no be small - u can get it at any LG outlet for 2500 - 3500  depending on if its with the plastic or metal case.

mine is 2gb lg, bought it like a year+ ago at 8000, its now around n5000 - will prolly buy a 4gb or 8gb in the near future, but i don't think i need one. what with a 320gb laptop hard drive (western digital scorpium), and 3 externals - 320gb desktop(maxtor) - for backups , 120gb(simpletech)- for my software  and 160gb (hitachi) came with my laptop swapped for the 320 gb drive wont format until after a month )  laptop drives.

if u have anyone outside nigeria( uk/us)  it is CHEAPER and safer to buy your drive etal  off ebay or amazon. those freaks in pc village are doing daylight robbery. get the price of any item in pc villlage, then get the same price on ebay, factor in delivery costs and you'll see what i mean.

I'll concur with oyb, they're robbing folks blind for naija pc market.  USB flash drive are so cheap these days that the least size you'll find someone carrying around in the states is probably 1GB. 

@poster check out this Transcend 1GB at newegg for dirt cheap.  Pata pata with shipping you no go spend pass 2k but the wahala be say I no know if them dey ship come naija.  Even sef this 4GB one na 20 dolapo with free shipping.  What's more, you can read the review of previous customers that have purchased the item to help you make an informed decision. Abeg, if you sabi person for obodo america, make you send them o jare and save you some kudi.  Peace!
