512M and 1G are starting to show up for $50 or less now. I have a 128M Lexar Jumpdrive and it died on my a month or so ago and was still just within the 2 year warranty. I sent it back to Lexar who then sent me an e-mail stating I could reply back that if data recovery was not necessary I could get my warranty replacement returned to me quicker. Since it was a backup of a backup I electec to not bother with their recovery, but it was interesting that they even ofered it which is abnormal for data storage devices. So even though I paid a bit more for the brand name (well that was all the store had a couple years ago) if data recovery service is included it makes me feel a bit better about using it. I may just buy a 1G here soon, thats more than a CD.
