I was going to buy this USB thumb drive until I read the review below. Are there some that are not Mac-friendly? Does anyone have a better suggestion? I'm open to any size, depending on the price.

Unlike other flash drives I have bought, this one seems buggy with the Mac and doesn't like many of the files I try to drag into it. Unsure why. It rejected some folders that had very simple names, such as 'open invoices,' but would copy all the files inside. Not useless, but enough of a bother that I would not recommend this to anyone with a Mac.
Also, the added value applications are all executables. I didn't want them anyway, but not being *able* to use them is different than not *wanting* to use them.
Unsure how hard it is to make a flash drive that's plug and play for Mac, but other drive manufacturers seemed to have mastered this trick.
