I have the same Lexar Drive...red body and a black rubber stretch cover. I do not carry it on my keys but in my shirt pocket. I have had it over a year with no issues. Mine is a 128MB. I have never used any other.

I use the Lexar JumpDrive Secure. I have used it for almost 2 years. It also has built in encryption, as do several others. If you lose your password, you will never again access your encrypted data, (Don't ask me how I know. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

But you can regain access to the entire drive, with help from Lexar. Then you can hide some more data (keep your password).

I have the SAK 512 MB, it's good.
But the BEST are the Sandisk Micro - washing machine proven, over & Over.

I'm a bit of USB Drive Addict.
I have four currently in use.
JumpDrive Secure - this one comes with an encryption program that's moderately good. The folks at Lexar have a "back door" to the data, as I learned after my Jumdrive died - twice - and they recovered the data for me.

+ Secure (relatively) data storage (you divide the drive into a "public" and "private" section (partition actually)

-Physical form does NOT fit in crowded USB hubs
- If you don't remember to keep the decryption software ON the drive itself in the PUBLIC section, you can't find the SW to decrypt your data when you need it. The Lexarmedia.com site is pretty useless for finding the decryption SW.
- When you repartition the drive to re-allocate public and private space you loose all the data on it (incliding your Decryption SW that you stored in the public partition.

- Does not like being washed and dried at all
- has a battery inside to run the little computer that encrypts data

SANDISK Cruiser MICRO
+Indestructible (almost)
+tiny!
- Protective covers fall off and vanish without a trace almost immediately

SAK USB Drive
+Looks Cool
+Fairly decent knife & scissors
+USB Drive has gold plated contacts!
+ Protective shell makes this IDEAL for keyring.
-NO Tweezers or Toothpick (What's up with that?)
- Not airline safe (well maybe soon)

I think this is the one Schwert is refering too.
Mine has been through the wash several times and is still going strong. We used to use the Sony's but we had 2 of 12 go bad. We have 8 lexar sports and none have gone bad. Forget about the encryption/thumbprint/snakeoil drives. They are not worth the hassle, and are really just a gimick. Anything that sensitive/important should not use that type of encryption anyway. If you do care, PM me and I'll point you in the right direction. Anyway, I have heard very good things about the SANDisk drives.

I'm currently using Sandisk drives & one of the SAK drives. The Sandisks don't have a tiny, little led that lights up to show activity, the whole END of the drive lights up. Sandisk micros are 1/2 the physical size of most drives. The only plastic on the outside is the end that lights up and a removeable plastic jacket.

I'm currently in the process of taking an SAK model & adding the blades of a Vic MiniChamp.

Bought my wife a 1GB Corsair Flash Voyager for use as a school teacher. So far so good, I've heard no complaints from her yet.
It comes with a lanyard for wear around the neck and an 18" USB cable for those hard to reach plugins.

Got it @ newegg.com... with a mail-in rebate.
