I searched for a while a truly compact and powerful drive. My happiness I have found is the Lexar Echo ZX, 16GB. I use it for my car radio and once installed it is virtually not see, this will not stoke the desire of some thieves. For transportation, no problem, it has a protective cover. As for performance, no worries, when transferring MP3 files, I get to write the order flow from August to September Mbs. Compared to other brands, it is simply the best.
