I haven't used a USB stick in years because of cloud services, but if I was going to own one, this one would be it. I love Lacie design!
I don't know why I'm surprised we have a thread for this...
Its name is "Utopia." 4 GB HP stick (although the HP logo has almost worn off...)

I have just a few...
4 Gig Cruzer - old job documents for reference, 4 Gig Portable PC Apps drive, 16 Gig Lion Installer, 32 Gig work drive (client backups, data transfers, drivers, etc), 32 Gb personal data drive (backups of important documents), and the latest acquisition - a 16 Gig drive for emergencies attached to my keychain.

I have never bought a USB thumb drive, each one I have was given to me from 256 MB to 4 GB.
My favorite is the 4 GB I got in a gift bag from an Audi event. The funny thing is that I drive a BMW.

Here's my small collection, arranged in order of capacity:
128 Mb promo, unknown brand. I got it for free when I bought an AMD Athlon CPU/mobo combo many moons ago (2003-ish?) for my "homebrew" PC. It developed quite a few bad sectors over the ensuing years, so I don't use it anymore; I keep it for the nostalgia.
1 Gb Lexar Firefly "JumpDrive".
4 Gb Toshiba.
4 Gb Sandisk Cruzer.
8 Gb Sandisk Cruzer.
8 Gb Gigaware from Radio Shack. It was on sale; otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. (Part of me misses the old Radio Shack... y'know, back when it was useful? But I digress...)
Out of all of these, I've only had to buy two: the 4 Gb Sandisk and the 8 Gb Gigaware. The other ones were gifts of one sort or another.
The one I use most is the 8 Gb Sandisk, by a considerable margin; it has the fastest read/write rate of all of these, and is big enough to hold an entire DVD image.
