It wasn't too long ago that a 4GB flash drive for under 20 bucks was worth crowing about, but now you can get an A-DATA 8GB PD9 MyFlash drive for $16.99 shipped. It's a new, retail unit with no rebates in sight.

As you might expect, this is a pretty no-frills drive. It has...get ready...an LED indicator! And it's driverless! Hey, for $16.99, don't expect the thing to be spitting out Pez.

Needless to say, with 8GB of storage, you can carry plenty of data back and forth between your home and work PCs. Of course, flash drives are good for more than just ferrying files.
