...to our IT department a Kingston DataTraveler USB flash drive soon arrived on my desk. For those who have never seen one, flash drives are a modern alternative to the ancient technology of floppy disks. You can easily transfers file to and from it and it is reusable unlike storing stuff on CD. The Kingston DataTraveler that I have is white in colour with a green tag on it which gives the name and the memory size. It's approximately 6.5cm in length ...
...is that it can be easily lost, although it does come with a hole at one end where you would be able to hook it to a key ring or neck tag. It has a little white cap which when removed reveals the USB plug. You just plug it into a USB port and send to it whatever information you want (it usually comes up as a "Removable Disk" in your explorer). You know its working as a little light flashes on it during data transfer. Some flash drives require software ... Read review

Not the most efficient way of doing things as cd tend to hold about 700mb of data and most of the stuff I need ...

...operate. So, does the Disgo DIS20256R Flash Memory fit the bill? Read on... For anyone who doesn't know exactly what a flash memory is, ama-gonna-tellya. Contrary to what you may believe, it's not the after effects of one acid trip too many, but a device that allows you to store practically anything on a simple, plug-in stick which acts like a separate drive. Data can then be transferred to another location - be it PC or Mac, desktop or laptop, home ...

...I'm reviewing today is the Lexar JumpDrive 2.0 Pro, 256mb high-speed portable storage. Just to be precise, the Lexar JumpDrive comes in storage sizes of 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB. As with the SanDisk, you should know that if you're running your computer on Windows98, you'll need to download a driver from the Lexar website (http://www.lexarmedia.com/drivers/index.html) for your system to recognize the USB port as a "drive" on your computer. They also ...
...a peep. With the Lexar we've had some problem with its seeming to disconnect itself every few minutes and then re-connect itself, making the directory window pop up or the icon in the task bar flash. This is very annoying since the Lexar is the one attached to my boss' computer and he gets annoyed when things start beeping at him! At first we thought it might be a problem with his USB port or the extension cable, but when I plugged my SanDisk into ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish and modern mirror design.

...ICT i have found my LG usb flash disk invaluable when transporting work documents to and from on a daily basis. They do seem to be everywhere these days. Cheap to make, cheap to buy but o so useful. WHERE/WHY? I bought mine from Comet for what seemed a resonable price. The drag and drop method for moving files could'nt be any easier. With 256mb it soon became clear that i was never going to fill it with homework so i started putting music tracks ...
...The only downside of the LG flash disk is that the corners are awfully sharp in comparison to it's competitors. This is especially noticible when around your neck i have atcually strached myself of it's edges. Also the detacable cap to protect it from dust and everyday knocks and bashes could be lost quite easilly. CONCLUSION These are everywhere at the moment and it's seems every technology manufacturer is making them. My advice is chose the memory ... Read review
