Can anyone suggest a good drive? Might wanna check ebay. I picked up an 8 gig for $15 and change ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160244094931). Like you, I didn't want a cap, so I found one that swivels. It says it's a Samsung, but it was pretty much just a generic drive (may be Samsung, don't know and not that worried about it). Since it's not for vital backups, just transporting files from point A to point B, I wasn't quite as concerned about quality. Been about a month with it now tho, and I haven't had any issues. -- A byte walks into a bar and orders a pint. Bartender asks him "What's wrong?" Byte says "Parity error."
