What's neat about the Sandisk Extreme 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive is that it's built with the kind of flash memory found in Solid State Drives.

I was looking for a 64GB or bigger flash drive with 3.0 capability (though I don't have it yet myself) at a reasonable price; I've had great luck with other SanDisk products, so when their new Extreme 64GB drive showed up at under $100 (barely) I decided to try it. Drive #1 arrived yesterday.
