I think that larger is better in the long run. That way you do'nt have to buy another one in two years. However I have like 4 2GB Flash dirves (Sandisk). I'll sell for 1 for $7.00 plus $4.00 shipping if anyone is interested On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 10:25 PM, ./aal wrote: > > On Tue, Dec 30, 200

There is a difference between brands of flash drives, but finding hard data for comparison is close to impossible. Since G3 iMacs support only USB 1.1, any brand will do. Be aware that writing to a USB drive is excruciatingly slow over USB 1.1. I have had good luck with Microcenter's [ www.microc

It sounds like a hard drive is going out to me. Any flash drive should work. The biggest you can afford is the best in my opinion. I still have the opinion that getting an enclosure with a HD is the cheapest and most efficient way to back up anything and upgrade. They are harder to lose and no
