Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB Executive - USB flash drive - 16 GB

Verbatim Store 'n' Go 2Gb U3 Smart Drive

Advantages: Capacity, speed, looks good, nice blue LED, U3 feature
Disadvantages: cap could be tighter, not Vista friendly until you update it.

2Go password manager. You can download more from the U3 web site at www.u3.com Sounds good but Windows Vista is so different to XP under the bonnet, it stops U3 working. A new version of the U3 software has been released BUT the version on the stick isn't Vista friendly although you can go to Verbatim's website to get the new version which involves a slightly scary backup/update/restore process. The initial lack of U3 on Vista also stops you being able to use the password feature until you upgrade it. Apart from that, it works well. It's fast for a USB stick and is available in different sizes up to 4Gb so can carry a good chunk of your data, photos or whatever. It has a nice blue LED that flashes during data transfer so you can be sure when it's finished prior to pulling it out (although you should really use the little ...

Advantages: LED light for when in use, large memory, no cap
Disadvantages: looks a bit worn after a while, no cap could be disadvantage

There seems to be an influx of reviews on ciao at the moment of netbooks, but also pen drives and I thought how difficult it must be to write a meaningful, in-depth review of something that most people possess, rely on but ultimately have the same problems ? its so bloody small that you undoubtedly going to misplace it or leave it in a computer somewhere. Then I thought, I have quite a good pen drive and use it as part of my job as a teacher like its part of me; it contains years worth of resources and materials that I simply cannot live without. Key features So the ?Verbatim Store 'n' Go 4GB Retractable USB Flash Drive?, or ?pen drive? as I like to call it has the impressive sounding Interface Transfer Speed: 480Mbps, Read Speed: Up to11MB / sec, Write Speed: Up to 8MB / sec as well as a 2 Year Limited Warranty. Ok, so we get ...

Review of Verbatim Hi-Speed Store 'n' Go USB 2.0 Drive - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Verbatim Store 'n' Go U3 Smart Drive

Advantages: Small, good looking, U3 feature, fast enough for Vista
Disadvantages: U3 features don't work with Vista (yet)

My current USB drive is old & slow and packs a humungous 128Mb so I figured it was time to upgrade. I chose the Verbatim because the price premium was small over a no-name equivelent with the 2Gb version clocking in at just £14.99. The device comes in a nice looking display package which contains the USB stick itself plus a nice black lanyard for hanging it around your neck, assuming you like wearing USB sticks. The package is the sort that usually results in blood loss when you crack it open so use scissors and take your time. If there is an established technique for getting in to these tough platic bubble packs, I'm not aware of it! In the flesh it's a nice looking thing in matt silver with a chrome edging. The cap is good and tight, unlike many and can be fitted to the opposite end when in use so you don't lose it. Whilst it ...
