USB pen drives with write protect switch?

[Fonz-Valo]

Hi all i hope someone can help,

I'm looking to buy a USB pen drive that features a write protect switch on it (like you get on SD Cards)

The reason being I am doing a lot of pc virus/spyware cleanup work for people at the moment and don't want to risk infecting my own pendrive whilst doing this.

Can anyone point me towards any particular brands that feature a physical lock on the drive?

Thanks a lot

hmmm.... i thought that might be the case I'll have a look at the PQI one mentioned above but it looks like I may have to do with a SD card and SD reader combo, i think it might be the cheaper option.

Thanks for your help guys

How about one of these and an SDHC card?

That's perfect! I've just managed to order one for £3 just need to find a cheap 4gb sdhc card for it

Thanks again
