Transcend JetFlash 2A (8 GB)
The JetFlash 150 is not the fastest memory stick by Transcend any more, because there is a JetFlash 210 now, but at 8 GB capacity it is the largest, and the 150 should still provide up to 22.5 MB/s maximum transfer speed. It supports drive partitioning, so one partition can be used to store password protected data. It also has a lock function for your PC: when you remove the memory stick, Windows will be locked until you reinsert the JetFlash 150.
There is an activity LED, but we missed the lanyard hole. In addition, the 8 GB capacity comes at a price: the device is not quite cheap and others come with smaller dimensions. Transcend offers a lifetime warranty.
