Advantages: quick access time, strong Disadvantages: none
...Me and all my team use these memory sticks at work and would recommend them to anyone. They are brill at transferring data between computers and back again, etc. Fast access time as well. I bought a universal (unbranded) 1GbUSB stick off ebay and it takes forever to transfer 200Mb +, but this one can do it in a 3rd of the time. I was inpressed.
They are very strong and built to last.
Excellent storage capacity. Windows XP ghost image no problem what so ever and the time it takes is just like running it from the hard drive.
You get most of the 4Gb space as well, compared to some USB sticks that say 1Gb, 2Gb etc and you dont get like 400Mb or something like that......

Advantages: Durable and Well built. Nice Design. Disadvantages: Doesn't have any Swiss Army Knife accessories.
...and Apple Macs with no problems. The manufacturers claim that it will work with USB 1.1 ports but it doesn't work with those in my keyboard. The transfer of data is as fast as any other flashdrive I have used. The drive comes preloaded with security software to prevent unauthorised access to your data although this only seems to be compatible with Windows machines.
I picked this stick up for £15 which is a bit expensive for the amount of storage but not too bad.
Overall this a decent USB stick that works well and is a more attractive design than most. It feels very durable and well put together. The 1 GB model is large enough for everyday use although there are larger sizes available. Some people may prefer Victorinox's other USB Swiss Army Knives which have the usual knife and accessories in addition to the USB stick. However...

Advantages: Durable and fast Disadvantages: Slightly bigger than other models
..., both in speed terms (as long as the PC has USB2.0)and ease of installation. Simple plug the drive into a spare USB socket on a Windows ME PC or highier and Windows need no other software. Within a few seconds of first plugging it in, he drive shows up in "My Computer" as a "Removable Drive", and it's ready to use.
Conclusion
**********
A great USBdrive which would take plenty of knocks with performance to match. It is ideal to keep on your keyring as being knocked against the keys, coins etc in your pocket wouldn't effect it at all.
The only disadvantage I would say about this drive is that it is slightly larger than some other models on the market, being just under 3" long, so its not the smallest around.
The drive is not really any more expensive than other models, retailing for around £12-£15 pounds (at the time of writing...

Brilliant.
OK, not the cheapest on the market but amazingly fast and very rugged.
It works flawlessly with the Windows Vista ReadyBoost system giving your laptop or PC a large increase in memory, I have found that this can help when playing very more
