Need to bring around 16GB worth of data? Check out this 16GB CORSAIR flash drive going for as low as $30 on NewEgg.com. Just remember to figure in the additional tax if you live in CA, TN, NY & NJ, and the 3-7 days free shipping time.
Also, be prepared to jot down $60 in your loss column, since that $30 mail-in rebate will probably take forever to arrive.
