Can't say for sure. (limited hands on experince) Just got a SanDisk " Cruzer mini" 256MB which is USB 2.0
Fast and small, the newest ones use a software lock, older ones had a write protect switch.
a lanyard and several extra caps were in the package.
this one was $39.95 at costco, but can sometimes be found cheaper.
I've seen some lower priced ones (around $22)but not sure of their performance.

even cheaper
lexar 1GB JumpDrive Secure USB 2.0 portable flash drive $49 after $30 rebate w/ free shipping at eCost
(so-so service and free shipping is slow, but it always gets here)
I did a review on a JetFlash thumb drive for the site. It has been working flawlessly the whole time I have had it. Fast , simple, and so far reliable.

All flash memory (in fact most computer components) are currently in price 'freefall' (due to continuing economic slowdown, very weak summer/back to school sales, and signs Xmas may be worse) huge manufactering capability increases, running at full tilt, has lead to a huge overstock for almost all tech products, expect to see tremendous sales/rebates/price reductions over the next month or 2.
if you don't like todays price, wait a week.
