    I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QVN9Y6 on Black Friday when it was only $29.99, but the price is still relatively low now ($32.99). The reviews seem generally favorable and I wanted something relatively small and vaguely professional-looking.

    Patriot Xporter is a great drive. I have the 8GB version and it's very fast.

    Yeah, when I bought my OCZ drive it was 18 after rebate. Memory prices have gone up quite a bit though.

    i purchased a 16gb voyager GT last year and after a few weeks it starting acting up. when i sent it back for warranty i was informed they no longer offer it and my only option was to receive a 32gb standard voyager. steer clear.

    I've been using a 16gb patriot xporter xt for the past year and it hasn't been giving me any troubles. I do recall reading somewhere that it was notably faster than some of its competitors at the time, but that was a year ago.
