Amacom Storage connection kit

Advantages: Handy eway to store portable data.
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...I have used this flash key for mainly transferring JPG photos and word documents. It has proved to be an efficient and useful device. It appears to be a pretty robust piece of technology. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is now a fairly common standard port for desk top PCs and laptops. Most computers now have these ports to enable plug-and-play capacity. Various devices such as printers, scanners and cameras can be connected to these ports to transfer data. Memory keys are useful as a means of storing lots of text files for example, digital photos or Mp3 files. Although the Amacom USB2 Flash Drive has a capacity of 2GB, the amount of data you will actually be able to store on it will be slightly under 1GB. This is because all flash drives use up some of their memory capacity by the software already installed on them. It is this software... Read review

Advantages: Portable
Disadvantages: Connection to computer is via parallel cable so slow data transfer

...So a portable CD-ROM. Why you may ask. Well I will tell you this device has saved my bacon many times. Ever had a computer or laptop with No internal CD-ROM drive and it will not boot into Windows? What do you do! Well I just hooked up the EZCD drive to the computer loaded the computer into dos and booted from the drives floppy and the CD-ROM was running. Then windows could be installed no bother! Anyway, it connects to the computer via parallel printer port so its a bit slow at data transfer. But there are versions of this product that you can get that have USB instead. It works well with DOS, 95, 98, ME, XP. I'm not sure about 2000 it would never except the drivers and 2000 always crashed when I tried installing it. So i wouldn't recommend buying it for 2000 unless its a more newer product and has a drivers disk for 2000. You can... Read review

Advantages: Affordable, cool design and handy strap.
Disadvantages: Its protective top is easy to misplace or lose.

...The PNY Attache 128mb data storage key is a fine piece of kit, which is a must have for anyone still carrying around data on a floppy disk. This data key slots easily into any USB connection point and then you can use it as you would a floppy drive - that is if you are running Windows 2000 upwards. I bought the PNY data storage key when I was still running the Windows 98 operating system and the system refused to accept the key, even with the drivers that PNY recommended you download from their very own website. This said, I have never had a problem on any system running Windows 2000 or above. The key holds the equivalent of roughly 80 floppy disks, comes with a handy strap (that can be disconnected if you wish) to keep round your neck and is extremely light. My only gripe is that the protective cap is easy to misplace or lose... Read review
