16GB
Ok, onto 16GB flash drives. You know, some people say that going beyond 8GB is a bit pointless unless the switch has been made from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0. The argument is that even the highest 2.0 transfer rate is too slow for transferring so much data. But I wonder how many people actually have such large files or compilations (lets say 10GB) that it has to be transferred or accessed all at once? And who says you have to watch? If you have a bit patience with your files, a fairly good computer and flash drive there really should be no problem. After all its great to be able to save and mobilize 16GB of data. Exactly how much you can store is shown in the following list.

I actually store data on a continuous basis on my flash drives. I find using these for my library is far simpler than storing CD or DVD.
