after a long search of reviews on the major hard drive brands
in looking for a usb portable around 1gb, I have been unable
to find a drive of any brand that does not have an
unacceptable number of negative reviews usually more than 5%
negative. does there exist a good consumer cost usb portable
drive with a good review history? I checked amazon, egghead
and other major sources of many reviews and only considered
those that had more than 20 reviews.

1gb? The prefix "g" does not exist. And "bit"? Do you maybe
mean 1GB?

With the negative reviews, you have to take into account
that something like 5-10% of the users are simply too
stupid to use the device right and in addition are too
stupid to recognize it is their fault. Therefore every
device will at least get some negative reviews.

1 Gigabyte? Are you talking about a USB flash drive of some sort? If
it's a USB hard drive you're looking for, they don't make them that
small anymore. I think the lowest you can get is 40GB these days.
