7Corsair

The Voyager GT is incredibly fast compared to other USB 2.0 flash drives. In reality it can read up to 30MB/s and write at about 20MB/s. Never had such fast usb drive.

Reliable and fast, consistent high end performance. May cost a little more, but quality pays for itself.

Awesome very fast unit. Never let me down and fast enough to play be movies

8A-Data

I found it to be good value for the money I spent

New in the competition, will soon be at number 1 because of quality and innovation, just use them-you'll love it... Really.

Well, I love this brand of U.S.B.

It serves me a lot of benefits, just like protecting my files from being lost.

9Sony

I've had my pen drive for 4 years now, with daily use, and always works perfect I do daily backups of my work, storing from big photoshop files to small ones, everything fits perfectly.

The biggest hurdle is the cumbersome software that is intended for advanced audio editing and production. The interface is cluttered and overwhelming for the average user, and Sony's rudimentary instructions didn't help - I couldn't even hear the LP play through the PC's speakers.
For some reason Sony makes you do things the hard way, because lurking under the software's Tools menu is a "vinyl recording and restoration" feature. Other than all of that crap it is very good

Really good, It went in the wash and dryer and still fine

10LaCie

Awesome brand! I own a Rugged Key that is water proof, 3.0 usb, 32 gb, resists 100 meters of fall and protects my data with a password. And I have a backup software that came with the product and copy all the files from my pen drive every time I connect at my Mac. It's great

The IAMAKEY is great. I've used three generations of these USB devices. The form factor is the shape of a key, so it easily fits on my key ring. Secondly, they bought a company called Wuala which is a cloud storage company like not other. Wuala encrypts and fragments files BEFORE uploading to the cloud, and then when it uploads the fragments are dispersed across a P2P network across millions of machines. This level of security cannot be found in Microsoft SkyDrive or Amazon AWS or GoogleDrive which store the data on their own servers. Call me paranoid! LaCie owns the key form factor patent and the dispersed storage network company, Wuala. These facts make it different than the other nine brands listed on this page.
