[QUOTE="Aura, post: 1295087, member: 214651"] I am looking to purchase an 8GB USB Flash drive to transfer movies, tv shows, music, documents, photos, etc. from one macbook to another. I want to purchase the USB from Amazon.com since I feel that they always have great deals. Any ideas or suggestions on what specifically I should be looking for in a drive before I select one? FAT32 VS NFTS? I want: Good writing speed, I want to be able to transfer 300mb of media all at once within a matter of minutes and not hours. Be able to transfer between a minimum of 2 computers (both being mac laptops). Might include a 3rd, being my PC desktop. Good for the price. Don't want to spend over $15 for a single 8GB. I don't care about: The way it looks or how it's designed. Keychain ring or portable or water resistant. Undecided about: Protection software and password encryptions. I wouldn't mind such aspects on a USB as long as it doesnt cause a fuss between my 2 macs. If its easy to use, that would be a plus! Some I had in mind: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0041Q38NK/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB High-Speed USB Flash Drive DTIG3/8GBZ, White and Yellow: Electronics[/url] (write speed seems slow) [URL='http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TS1J18/?tag=macforums0e4-20']Amazon.com: Kingston Digital DataTraveler 101 Generation 2 - 8 GB Flash Drive DT101G2/8GBZET: Electronics[/url] (seems to have better ratings than its stats) If you have any experiences, advice, suggestions, etc. please let me know!
