Does anybody know if it's actually 64gb or if it's 2x 32gb combined into one?

My 4gb flash drive I think is 2x 2gb which makes it impossible to store a 3.5 gb .iso file.

Same question goes for the 16gb and 32 gb models, because I need a bigger flash drive.

I have a 2Gb flash voyager and I must say it is an excellent piece of kit for surviving. Shame I lost the lid for it >.<

I'd definitely, certainly, unflinchingly go with the Ipod instead.

I've got the aluminum clad Survivor - I thought that was the one that was tortured so much, not the Voyager.

$250 is too much. Better to double up on smaller drives or get a 2.5" external USB hard drive.
