I have used a Rio Carbon almost daily for over 4 years and it's flawless. Having only 512 MB memory has never seemed to be a disadvantage. It is lightweight, has long batterylife and since it's a sold state memory device, it has no moving parts.
I've had several other larger players that use notebook hard drives that, although they are great for large storage, the inability to take shocks, imho, make them prone to failure. Also? They have a rudimentary OS which can and does crash, making them unbootable!
