    I think what you are looking for is a flash drive. A portable drive that you can connect by USB. You can purchase them anywhere and are really pretty cheap. Price for the same brand will depend on capacity. In the UK I would assume that PC world (ugh) will probably have them by the register. Is this what you are looking for?

    From your initial post it would seem that you were looking for actual memory sticks. (RAM) and I would have answered exactly as DSTM has.

    Nothing worth mentioning or enough to account for paying a high price. What you need to look for is the capacity in gigabytes, the higher capacity the more you can store on it. That accounts for the main price difference. Keep in mind that these things should only be used to move files from one computer to another or similar tasks. I would never recommend that they be used for your permanent backup.

    You also have to be careful if you are planning on using them on external devices such as plugging them into TV's and game consoles.. as they need formatting differently than if you are just using them in a PC
