U3 smart drives under Linux
 

Hi all. I would like to get a new flash drive and whilst reading on the web found some information on new "U3 smart drives" see www <dot> u3 <dot> com (sorry this is only my second post so can't post URL's yet). Has anyone got one of these and if so how does it react to a Linux platform esp SuSE?

Thanks

Well, they look like ordinary flash drives, but Wikipedia tells us they are anything but. All the nice stuff on them is definitely Windows-only. So unless you like the idea of paying extra for a bunch of stuff you can't use (or also have a Winblows system capable of using it), you'll get much better value from a more generic mass-storage drive.
