Hello,
New guy here. I have read every review of USB flash drives that could be located through a Google search and on this forum.
I'm looking for recommendations from anyone having experience with these devices. It will be my first, and I'm thinking 512MB is a good place to start.
The a-data Rubber Disk seems like a good possiblity, but I haven't seen too much other than 1 review on this one.
Sandisk Titanium looks good, but a cap would be nice and I am wondering if the in/out switch will wear out.

Hi Geode, and welcome!!
Now that they offer a USB 2.0 compliant device, I have to say I am partial to the Crucial Gizmo! thumb drives. I love my USB 1.1 256MB version. With their lifetime warranty, free shipping, and great products, its hard to justify a cheaper brand.
But... I know there are tons of others out there that are solid. Just don't have any experience with many others, including the ones you mentioned. I haven't even heard of A-data or the Rubber Disk...
Crucial looks great. I am mindful that too much shopping can cause intestinal disharmony, and at some point just getting one of these devices is the way to go.

You mentioned one without a cap, too... When shopping, take a close look as many manufacturers make a big mistake (in my mind), by placing the tether or keychain hook on the cap... So, if the device and cap become separated you now have the cap only!!
A-Data and Crucial at least have that covered with the body having the keychain hole...
