i saw a 1Gb jump drive in royal for $1400. now i can't remember the brand but maybe someone here might know it. the question is this, given the low price...can it be reliable?

Memory is pretty cheap in this day and age. with 64 gig thumbdrives on the market of course a 1 gig thumbdrive will be going for cheap. to play it safe get something with good reviews though.

I got a cruzr it hasn't done me wrong.
Had a kingston.. Safe stuff.
Ocz makes good memory too.

You should be careful. It may be one of those thumb drives that eventually split in half after a while. lol

Doesn't really matter which it is. Check to see what warranty you get. Kingston is 5 year/lifetime. Some other providers do the same.
