Advantages: Tiny and fast. Disadvantages: Snap-on caps become loose
...simply walk through and wait for the light to stop flashing before removing it from the USB port and walking back to the desks. A handy feature.
One niggle I have with every memory manufacturer is that they never tell you the true size of their product. They tell you that 1MB is 1000KB, as opposed to 1024KB. Similarly in the case of this product it is not truly a 1GB memory stick, ie, 1024MB. The overall maximum size of this device is 990MB. This is still fine for me, it holds more than the biggest writeable CD's available, but a technical error I find frustrating.
I also find that the snap-on colour caps supplied are okay, however after being carried around on my keys for many months now, the plastic is starting to wear. I took my keys out just the other day and the actual USB part flew off the plastic cap and the keyring. No damage...

Advantages: Universally accepted MAC or PC, Small Size but Massive Capacity Disadvantages: Only Comes In White!!
...I have searched for a decent USB pen drive, which not only works well with both my Mac and Windows computers, and after a few disappointing Ebay buys I found the Kingston Data Traveller. At prices from £10 for a massive 1GBdrive this has to be the bargain pen drive for every student or office worker out there.

Just plug it into your USB drive (both USB 1.0 and 2.0) and the drive instantly starts working, no drivers or downloads needed. It comes in many capacitys but i choose the 1GB version. Although actual size is just under a GB (as with all flashdrives) it is still a huge amount of data. If all you need to transfer is documents then this will never ever fill up!
The best aspect of this pen drive however is it easily works with both...

I bought this memory stick recently from Currys at £27.99, which I think was fair. I was shown 3 memory sticks with 1GB of memory. One for £29.99 with a docking station and one for £24.99 which looked, in a word, crap.
Although this memory stick may more
Having been searchng for a decent brand USB pen drive, which was reliable and small,i opted for this one as it was Kingston and 1 GB was enough storage.
