Now, by *right*, do we mean not only that but also something that meets the criteria of http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device#How_to_win(without the problems caused by http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device#Screwed-up_formatting )? I'm not too familiar with how USB flash works, so I don't know if USB-{FDD, ZIP, HDD} layouts are compatible with the layout you'd want to minimize wear. Thanks, Luke Faraone http://luke.faraone.cc
