My USB Flash Drive Died :(
My 1GB OCZ Ultra-Slim USB Flash Drive has died! Well I think it has. I’m having trouble writing data to it – even after a reformat, so I guess that’s it. The lifespan of the drive was 14 months. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. For €31 you’d think it would have lasted a little longer.
So I guess that means it’s time to get a new one. I could buy the same one again (this time for €17) or upgrade to the 2GB one (for €24). I’m not sure what I want 
Because I mainly use it with my car stereo, I like the ultra-slim one. It’s small and unobstrusive. But if I go for another ultra-slim one, will it suffer the same faith? Should I go for something a bit more sturdy? I’m still undecided :-/
Opinions are welcome (and needed)
Update
Some how the flash drive has miraculously repaired itself or so it seems! I’m able to write to it again
But I think something it still screwy with it because it’s only a 1GB flash drive, yet according to Windows it has a capacity of 4GB :-/

Sorry to hear that.
I don’t have any recommendations. I do have a USB Flash drive, but it isn’t slim. 
Which one do you have Patrick? Has it worked well for you?
Glad to hear of the recovery.
I believe this is the one I have:

I haven’t used it a TON, but I do like it when I have.
That one looks pretty good. I like the fact it has a retractable cable.
