USB Flash Drive Round up at Ars Technica

Found this in-depth round up comparison article of USB Flash Drives by Ars Technica via /.

They put the following USB Flash devices/Thumbdrives through the paces (weird that they don't have M-Systems):

• Apacer Handy Steno HT203
• Transcend JetFlash DSC
• Kingston DataTraveler Elite
• Lexar JumpDrive Lighting
• SanDisk Cruzer Titanium
• Corsair Flash Voyager
• Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro
• SimpleTech Bonzai SD/MMC
• Transcend JetFlash 110
• PQI I-Stick Pro 85

Anyway, it's a good read, if you want the nitty gritty and want to go right to the comparison matrix with overall ratings, here it is. They look at everything from whether it's bootable, write protect capable, warranty, price per GB, Avg read/write speeds, and a lot more.

  It's not really too weird that they don't have tests on anything from M-Systems, since M-Systems doesn't sell direct to consumers.
  
  I believe the Kingston & Verbatim drives are based on M-Systems hardware ... but I can't be sure.
