The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    $6 for a 2GB isn't all that great--especially considering you have to buy 50! :eek: Buy.com often has them for $5-7. I actually got a few from Bestbuy for $2.50 each, but it was a pricing error. :rolleyes: Anyway with 4GB drives being $8-10, and 8GB being $12-15 it's getting to the point it's nearly pointless to get anything smaller than 4GB (unless your buying 50, that adds up!).

    Yeah, not really a great deal at all! Look at the prices of 16gb ones. You can get them for 20 bucks.

    100gbs / 16gbs = 6.25 thumb drives

    6.25 thumb drives * 20 bucks = 125 bucks

    You could get a lot more for your money buying 16gb drives. Plus they would be more useful!
