The Coolest USB Flash Drives
Computer storage has come a long way in recent years. About five years ago I was stuck carrying around recordable CDs, Zip Disks and my very rarely used but extremely overpriced Jazz Disks. I also carried a Lacie portable drive but it was a little big and bulky. I was a New Media major and I always needed to store lots of files.
Today the choices are so much better. The price of flash memory is always going down. Back then it was very expensive for a flash drive. Today they are well priced and offer lots of storage. There are new really cool ones coming out all of the time. I got my most recent flash drive for just the price of shipping. I found a great deal at Dealmac.com. Mine is actually in the shape of a snowboard. So it looks pretty unique too. Well basically this hub is to show some of the coolest flash drives I can find.Strong Flash Drives
Today there is the right flash drive for everyone. If you are accident-prone or quite a risk taker I would suggest the Corsair Survivor Drive. It should survive anything you throw at it.

EMTEC USB Flash Drives
I simply love the look of the new animal design Emtec thumb drives. I only wish I could get them in a little bigger size. I'm sure 4 gigs is more than enough for most. But, I am always carrying video and web files around with me at work.
Mwave has great prices on Flash Drives

Make Your Own Thumb Drive
If you want a really unique Flash Drive. Why not make your own. You can get a plain drive of any size then make a cover. I have seen some made from Pez dispensors, Legos and small stuffed animals. But you can probably make one out of anything you want.
I hope I have helped you find just the right flash drive.
