Question Which flash drive?

I am looking for a flash drive, with a fast upload speed. Most of the ones I have seen sofar have about 4-8mbs upload speed and I think thats too slow. I have found one that I like (a pair of flash drives), here's the specs.

512 (256 x 2)
7.1 x 5 x 1"
5oz
up to 480 Mbps w/ USB 2.0
$62.99
at bestbuy.com, sorry, I don't know how to add the image.
To find it search for flash drives, 2nd page, PNY Attaché 2-Pack 256MB USB 2.0 Drive


It would be cool to have one with a fingerprint reader, but I want it to be around $50.
Do you think this would really upload at 480Mbps, or would it be short bursts and a slow average upload speed? Is this a good flash drive? Would you recommend a better one for around the same price?

its not really 480mbps, dont know where that comes from, takes me a lot longer then a seconds to transfer a 300mb file. And you can get a good 512mb card for $30.

the 480mbps is the posted transfer rate for USB 2.0, not just a flash drive.

Could you recommend any good flash drives? 256-512. Not too big.

hey very often the cruzer micro's go on sale for 29.99 after rebate. any drive with a usb 2.0 interface should be sufficient.
