I know it seems simple enough, but I figured I'd get input from people here who actually have used one. Basically I end up using flash drives for large files regularly and would like to have a high speed one that can handle a DVD file with relative ease. My Sandisk drives are slow as crap when it comes to moving large files.

I picked up a Patriot Magnum drive a while back and it's awesome. 64GB, was under $100 at the time, and it's pretty damn fast and has a metal exterior.

If time isn't a factor, I see the high-speed ones of Slickdeals.net from time to time. Not super often, though.

Time isn't a factor really. I'll keep an eye out. The Patriot was the one I was looking at anyway, so it's nice to know they seem to be rated best. I'm not interested in eSATA so the other is out.
