... looking for an ultra-cheap USB type external drive to transfer just under 20gig of files ...

... anyone got any websites that have these?

I've been trying to put the data on CD Roms using the newer systems that are supposed to hold 4x the regular amounts, but it's not working all that great ... so, I need something else to get these downloaded onto and out the door to someone else on here ...

I'm assuming you are looking for a flash drive, as such, I'll say I've never had a problem with the PNY brand which is usually on sale about once or twice a month at Fry's electronics (I don't think they exist in your area, so you'd have to use their website frys.com). Like $12 for 8GB on sale, I know they make a 16GB, not sure about a 20.

You could always use a compression utility like zip, winzip, 7zip, winrar, stuffit, etc... (I don't recommend stuffit for PC users - not that it isn't available, just it's not very commonly used with PCs, too bad, it's actually a rather good archive format) and depending on the file types, you might see up to about 90% decrease in size when compressed.

This gives me an idea..........the "CBid Porn Drive".

I'll send my 100GB external HD to someone with some porn on it, and that person adds porn and sends it on to the next person.

Then after it is full, it comes back to me......full of porn.
