Top 5 Flash Drives

Summary
The one-touch backup button, backup and encryption software, and U3 functionality for portable apps make for a winning formula.
Missed the top spot only because the winner offered more functionality. However, OCZ offers a lifetime warranty on this drive.
Clearly targeted at a premium audience, the Corsair Flash Voyager GT with a rubberized body looks good and performs even better.
Is the most compact drive here, and includes software (download from website) for data backup, portable settings, PC-lock, etc.
Kingston offers a 5 year warranty on the Premium HyperX drive. Its retractable USB connector negates the hassle of losing the cap.
