At about $20 less than the competition, the EasyDisk flaunts some of the lowest prices we've seen. Only the Dioneer USB Memory drive offers a comparable cost, and they both come in a myriad of capacities: 16MB ($29), 32MB ($39), 64MB ($59), 128MB ($89), and 256MB ($159).At about $20 less than the competition, the EasyDisk flaunts some of the lowest prices we've seen.

The small, slender drive has a matte-silver finish and a pocket clip. It works with Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP, as well as Linux 2.4x and Mac OS 9 or higher.
