I have a 4GB Sony (I think) that I bought a few years ago. It has always corrupted bits of data here and there (think a few dozen lines of random noise in the middle of some code) so I pretty quickly learned not to use it for most things. It now holds mp3s for my car, which fails much more gracefully with garbled input than a compiler does. But it was cheap and relatively high capacity for its time, so I wouldn't take much from that other than "you get what you pay for".
