DISGO STEW

Advantages: Small and easy to use, not to mention very useful
Disadvantages: Badly thought-out keyring attachment

...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 ...
...you do is plug your disgo into the USB port of any computer - no cables or power supply are needed because disgo takes its power directly from the USB port. First thing ya gotta do, is log on to www.mydisgo.com to register the product and download a few things. For example: I had to download the Keysafe feature* and, if you're using certain operating systems, such as Windows 98, you need to download a driver. I'm on XP so I didn't need to download ...

SanDisk Cruzer Micro

Advantages: Small ,portable,good price
Disadvantages: I keep losing it its so small

I was lucky enough to be given one of these for Christmas,and what a delight ti is. I have a couple of pc in the house and I am always wanting to transfer information between the two.I have tried several methods but not being a computer hardware buff have always screwd it up. ending up copy data onto a cd and transfering it that way. Not the most efficient way of doing things as cd tend to hold about 700mb of data and most of the stuff I need ...
...little gizmo comes into its own. If your operating sysyem is running win98 or better and its equipped with a usb slot ,that all you need. Just take the cap of the Micro plug it into the usb slot and hopefully your pc will detect and show this extra memory {256mb}as an extra drive. All you have to do is drag any files you want to transfer/store onto in,let it finish doing it before unplugging Thats it in a nutshell if you need to transfer larger ...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 256 MB

My Homework around my neck

Advantages: Stylish and modern mirror design.
Disadvantages: Sharp Edges

...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 ...

Review of LG XTICK Mirror USB flash drive - 256 MB

Useful, Portable, Cost Efficient!!

Advantages: Holds a lot of data, portable, saves information quickly
Disadvantages: rubber wraparound cap impractical, difficult to attach to keychain

For those who are unfamiliar with USB drives, simply put, it is like a "key" that you insert into the USB port in your PC or laptop. A lot of printers/mp3 players require you to have a USB port to hook up to. A USB port transfers data much quicker than a floppy drive. When you put the key in the USB port, the computer automatically recognizes that there's a device attached to it, and then you can put your files in it just like you would save them ...
...was not overly costly considering other products on the market. It's easy to use, no software necessary - just creates a "temp" drive. Rubber cap is difficult to figure out at first, and difficult to remove and replace. I've also had no luck attaching it to a keychain since the rubber cap is so thick and flexible, I find that impracticle as it is easier to lose this way. The files transfer into the drive very quickly, definately better than a floppy ...

Review of Lexar JumpDrive Sport - USB flash drive - 256 MB

Easy Data Storage

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Easily lost, no security option

...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 ...
