Well, Trinity's link is pretty good. there's a 512 Mb stick for £15.99 plus £3.95 postage here (http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/Integral/Envoy/512MB/USB/Flash/Drive) on that site. eBay looks cheaper but since a lot of the really cheap stuff comes from the Far East the shipping costs from those dealers are around £10-12 so you're better off sticking to UK sellers methinks.
trinity!!
Thanks for the link...will have a mooch

7dayshop do a few camera memory usb card readers that if you have the camera memory already can be used as flash drives. I bought one that utalises XD memory, so its a flash drive ( up to my 1Gb xd card ) a memory card reader and also it plays MP3's. All for about £20.

Hi JJ,
Most memory sticks comes in the following "standard" size
128,256,512 megabytes or 1 gigabytes (1024 megabytes). If all you need is to transfer your academic work around (documents and stuff) a 128 would be more than sufficient. However, being a tech person myself, you will soon realise how useful the memory stick is and you start putting loads of stuff on it (pictures, mp3 etc) and you would soon find 128 is not enough. (my suggestion is a 256 at least)
They are quite cheap these days and unless you are getting one with massive capacity, the price difference will not be significant.
There will be some that say USB2.0, all this means that the memory stick will work at a higher transfer speed and is usually backward compatible to earlier versions.
Happy shopping :)

Hello all :D
Being a student you probably are into Mp3 players alot of these on the market can also store data if you wish...I use a Thomson Lyra 20GB... Brilliant for storing music OVER 13,000 tracks :bigeyes: or you can store data as well,or even both...
If it's the price, your probably better with a plain old boring Flash pen Drive, these days as previously described "Cheap as Chips"
