These are great - you insert one into your USB port and you get an extra 4GB drive on which you can transfer files you may need on the road or you could back up about 1000 hi-res photos - but why not get the Kingston 8GB DataTraveler USB flash drive - High Speed USB?
The prices for the 8GB go up and down but, if you can get one for 50-60% more than the 4GB then you should be in pretty good shape - and you could store 2000 photos :)

Wow these are awsome thumb drives, flash drives or what ever you want to call them. I think that I ended up with somewere around 12 of them and they are great drives. My family was saving caps and box tops for me and I spent hours at night putting in all those codes but well worth the time.

While the data storage works as expected the plastic piece broke when I placed on my key ring. Very cheap plastic.

I bought 2 of the 4GB variety some 10 months ago at about $25 each. That was considered a great bargain at the time. I was happy when I saw the 8GB for a lot less a few days ago.
I am using the DataTravelers for exactly what the name implies. I take them with me on the road, loaded with whatever I need for my trip and I don't need to worry about bringing a laptop along. Each flash drive is viewed by the computer as a 'disk', meaning that it can be formatted, even partitioned. I usually have a 'public' partition and an encrypted section for the more sensitive files.
I have little doubt that, one year or two years from now the 16GB version may be available for about the same price or less but, until then, I have 'stuff' that I need to take with me and I am glad to be able to have something I purchased for, almost literally, the price of 'peanuts' - well... airport or minibar peanuts :)
I have little negative to say about this little devices other than... being as small as they are, you must be VERY careful not to lose them or misplace them - that's why I encrypt everything that's not supposed to be 'public'.

This flashdrive has a good amount of space and worked well to save my documents and pictures when I upgraded my computer. I recommend it.
