I thought this would be an appropriate post, and the best place for it since it's "media" related. Last summer I replaced my minivan's original stereo with a Pioneer after-market stereo. The Pioneer had a USB port for playing files from flash drives. After a bit of looking, I found these on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L0VI7NU
This is a 10-pack of 8 GB flash drives -- two each in five colors -- for approximately $20. The price has fluctuated a bit, but I don't think this represents a temporary deal.
The drives arrived (from China) in about a week. They came pre-formatted, but I formatted them myself when they arrived, just to be sure. My thought was to load them with music for the road and color code them by genre. I've had them for several months, and I'm very happy with how they work.
Each drive has a small, red LED inside that blinks when it's connected. This LED is subdued, especially on the black and dark blue drives. I like this arrangement much better than USB flash drives that either have blindingly bright blue LEDs or no LED at all.
They have reasonably good reviews at Amazon. A few reviewers have reported getting a bad drive but seem to have been taken care of. Others have complained of slow write speeds, but mine didn't seem to be noticeably slower than any other USB flash drive I've used.
Anyway, if you have music, videos, ebooks, etc., to store or shuffle around, these might be worth looking at.
