    I'm using a flash drive for all my important files....
    but I have only 32 mb on it (this is not a typo).
    Paid almost 200$ for it many years ago :x

    I used to have a 2 Gig one but recently that has been made redundant by the amount of files and crap I want to transfer so I just went and bought an external Hard Drive, now that is cool :p
    It's even made by Porsche :tehe:

    I have a 512mb drive, yeah, kinda pathetic, but im getting a 4 gig some time soon and that should suit me much better, and did you know that they made a 32 gb(!) flash drive, thats insanely huge.

    I have a Corsair Flash Voyager 16gb that I got off Ebay for 100 bucks.

    I keep movies, every pic and MP3 I own and more on there and still have room.

    I have a 1GB Memorex mini-travel drive, but some space is taken up by the U3 software. Also, it doesn't eject properly from my laptop, causing me to have to restart my laptop in order for it to be able to recognize the flash drive again. So, I just recently bought a 4GB Memorex Travel drive (the regular version, not mini). Waiting for it to come in the mail =)
