Good Day,
Currently I don't think Microsoft Make any USB flash drives, although I know
of a very cool looking pen ( promotional item I'm sure.)
Anyway your question is a tough one, yes short term transportation of data
from a flash drive is quite fine , although I've heard of several people
suffering from data corruption on their drives, I believe that could be from
poor care of the device.
I'd recommend a flash drive to anyone in the information technology sector,
it's a tool , not just a gadget , especially since most new notebook pc's are
no longer fitted with an FDD drive.
If you'd like to check which storage devices have been tested on XP , check

Since you are looking for a reliable means of data tranfer rather than
storage, I'd recommend a USB 2 compatible flash drive if your pc's have USB 2
ports.
The transfer speeds are great , and no need to replace semi-re-usable media
like CD's.
I can't comment on Tape drives or portable HDD's , personally the size and
type of storage might not suite your criteria. ( I hate any magnetically
based storage.)
I think if I go on anymore someone should pay me commission for the sale .
or no doubt I'll get virtual stones thrown my way since this is a Microsoft
Software newsgroup. :) , anyways , always happy to help. ( except on weekends
and early in the morning. )
