So I've recently found myself with lots of flash memory cards and USB flash drives. It all started with my Palm Tungsten T3 that I got a 256MB SimpleTech ProX secure digital card (very fast if you copy to it using a USB 2.0 reader/writer).

I then found myself starting to use USB flash drives to move stuff from home to work, and to bring work home with me too. It started with a 32MB one I got for free at a Microsoft seminar, then up to a 64MB one I got from AMD for completing a tutorial at last years PDC... then finally a 256MB Lexar JumpDrive Pro which is permanently on my keychain. That thing rocks.

Anyhoo, the latest is compact flash cards because of the camera. I found myself getting three cards so I would have enough capacity for my upcoming vacation (and something to back the pictures up on too). In order to know the difference when I have them attached to the PC, I created Macintosh icons for them in Iconographer. Then I thought "why not share them with the world". Then I thought "better make a proper collection then...". So here they are.

There are three collections, for Sandisk, Lexar and SimpleTech compact flash cards. Just click on the icons below to download...

Sandisk (Extreme, Ultra II) (8 icons)

Lexar (40x, 80x) (11 icons)

SimpleTech (normal, ProX) (9 icons)

If you're looking for icons for other types of flash drive, you might be interested in the Real Disks collection at Xicons.com.

And if you've no idea how to set the icon your Mac shows for your flash drive, Xicons.com has a good tutorial on Setting Custom Icons in Mac OS X. Enjoy.
