What Tom said. pexagontech.com
I love them and my customers rave about the look and ease of use. I'm sure you and Amy would like them. They carry them in the regular version or the eternal version that Tom mentioned. I went with the regular version (had to consider cost) and have yet to see a customer accidentally erase one. I guess its possible, but I haven't run into that problem yet. If it does happen I can just copy them back over. I consider it equal to replacing a scratched DVD for a client.
Just checked their site. Looks like they have a special going right now!
Do not use pexagontech.com to order your flash drives.... use www.photoflashdrive.com. photoflashdrive.com is a domain portal that brings you to pexagon's website and you get a discount when ordering.. I found it via a flyer that Pexagon gave me at PhotoPlus Expo. I guess they are trying to track how many photographer's found their site via the show. The discount is a pretty decent.
Just an FYI. I've been speaking with Tracy from Pexagon all morning because I was getting an error code on my MBA using Mountain Lion. Tracy informed me just now that they havent updated the software just yet and the Eternal Photo USBs will NOT work with Mountain Lion at this time.

I see the branding on the flash drives. Do you also put the clients names and wedding date on it ? I think that would really personalize it.
Yeah I do it on the other side of the USB. It looks great.
Once more **FULL DISCLOSURE** I work at www.usbmemorydirect.com, where we make these type of custom flash drives.
Last time I read and posted in one of these threads I got a quite a few interested parties and we ended up producing some orders. Photographers are probably the single biggest group that orders from our site, and we love working with you guys. I guess I should mention that we guarantee to beat competitor prices, but what I think might be even more valuable to you guys is a cross-marketing promotion we do. Like I mentioned we get lots of photographers ordering and we'd love to get even more, so we are providing deeply discounted orders to any photographer who is willing to write a short post about us or mention the drives on their blog or website. We get some publicity, you get an order of flash drives at our price, pretty sweet deal all around
If this sounds like something you guys would like to participate in, just PM me for more details. Thanks!

We have a variety of drives... 8GB for weddings, 2GB for engagement sessions and family sessions....
We ordered 1GB for our family sessions, but they sent us 2GB models anyway.
Thanks Richard. So you give clients two drives? I have been giving just one with the engagement shoot and wedding all together. Saves me some cash. Is there any reason you do two?
I think he's saying he'll give 2GB drives for clients who ONLY book an engagement session.
I love these and am going to order some today or tomorrow. Thanks so posting up your stuff LivLif (I forgot your name, oops)! Great stuff...so much nicer than the garbage DVDs I'm handing out currently!
I am curious about this also. I am on Macs but am wondering how you all are protecting the drive. I had thought of doing this for portrait/engagements sessions quite some time ago but with issues regarding computer virus liability and destruction of files I hesitated to shift. Are any of you re-wording your contracts to address this? What is your policy/charge regarding replacements Has PC compatibility been a problem for anyone?? This seems like a great solution for commercial clients also if liability issues are addressed.

Can you provide a link with all the pricing info or a price sheet?? I(and many others) don't have time to email about the price for every single product we want to check out or compare.
Just a follow up about the pexagontech wooden flash drive & box. I ordered a few of them to use for my upcoming clients. Overall I am happy with the quality of them, but they switched to a wooden thread (flash drive is sort of "nested" on top) instead of the foam inserts inside the boxes.
I liked the presentation of the foam insert better, and apparently you can request the foam inserts instead in the comment section when you place your order (they are sending me some for my order). Just an FYI for those that ordered them & might wonder why you didn't get the foam insert.
