Word of warning - those store-branded Micro Center sticks are
s-l-o-w ... I have a 2 GB that is about a quarter to a third the speed
of another one I have (SanDisk). 

Also interesting to note that they're somewhat weird in that they don't
have things like a vendor or device identification string -- I noticed
that when I was writing udev rules a while back. 

Wouldn't trust it further than I could throw it. :-)
