I need a usb pen drive 4gb with a fast transfer rate.
Reason = Dowloaded movies (avi) are "jerky" during fast action sequences when played from my drive via my dvd players usb port.
I assume the transfer rate is the reason for it as when i hook up my laptop via the hdmi connection and play it thru the tv everthing is fine
My current usb drive is a scandisc cruzer which i bought 4+years ago

isnt it going depend on what you tv/usb input speed is maybe usb 1.0 so getting a usb 2.0 or 3.0 would be pointless anyway and maybe a waste of money?
if is 2.0 get one for about £18 16gb i get from here http://www.dvd.co.uk/buy/catdt100g2_16gb/kingston-datatraveler-100-g2-usb-flash-drive-16gb.htm0 -

Do you have it formatted NTFS or FAT32 format, if FAT32 might be worth reformatting it NTFS and see if that helps....0
