Advantages: Great storage, fast, cheap
Disadvantages: U3 software seems a little pointless

I needed a flash drive and this little thing looked and sounded like the thing for me. I have all my personal files backed up on it using the sync manager - which by the way could not be easier to use even if they tried (which they probably did). They claim to be compatible with any computer and while I have used this flash drive with both a PC and Mac, I hav not tried with any other OS so I cannot be 100% sure. I feel quite old saying this (even ...
...USB flash drives are incredibly cheap these days. I remember buying a 256 MB flash drive and it costing £25 so it's a huge bargain getting these 4 GB flash drives for under £10 Fantastic little device. I have so much personal and business data on it and I can still add a movie. Personal data is encrypted and safe. Best little gadget I've bought this year. ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: security is minimal

This is a very easy to use USB flash drive. The security functions that are seen on many of the latest USB pens aren't seen here.

Advantages: Fingerprint and/or password encryption, relatively cheap given the features, range of capacities
Disadvantages: Encryption requires running software and is Windows-only, protective cover not that protective

Wanting some storage I can carry with me and keep on my keyring, I was aware that it could potentially fall off and was more likely to lose. I'm not so worried about the cost of replacing the key (most are cheap enough to be nearly disposable now), but I was concerned about other people accessing my data. Therefore I need a key which encrypts or just restricts access to unauthorised users. I use Windows at home, and as I sometimes use Linux machines ...
...both, so I had the idea of getting one with fingerprint authentication on the stick itself. As a result I chose the JetFlash 220 flash drive from Transcend, as it advertised "driverless use" so I figured I could use it on any operating system. Unfortunately this is not the case - it is completely driverless, if you just want to use the unencrypted section.
