Advantages: Seemless integration, push down analysis
Disadvantages: Not straight forward to configure

...A very potent integration tool, seamlessly connecting with a diverse of range of data source on varying platforms. IBM really did add in some nifty coding at the back end. The push down analysis works well and you can see this by using DB2 Control Centre to monitor the query path and analysing the applicable micron levels. My experience of Data Joiner was in implementing a CRM solution sourcing customer data from 20+ different databases and flat files which Data Joiner handled with ease. Although Data Joiner is probably out of support now since Information Integrator has superseded it, IBM's support during my experience of using Data Joiner was superb. Information Integrator is the new generation of connectivity tools from the IBM stable. However, you shouldn’t just forget about DataJoiner. After all, without Data... Read review

Advantages: USB2.0 compatible. Small and covenient. Very cheap.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose. Key fob very flimsy.

...?) Fast forward a few years and you can now fit a gigabyte of data (that is 1024 Megabytes, or just over a billion bits) - or 2GB if you want to splash out a bit on an updated model - into a single chip. It can be yours for the laughable sum of £2.50. In 1990, a typical gigabyte of storage cost about £10,000. (USA Today) -- How easy is it to use all this technology? -- Plugged into the USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket - one of those square things that you plug your printer / scanner into on your computer - the USB drive appears on your computer as a separate disc drive - on mine it is drive F. It is highly reliable against data loss (these are much more secure than a floppy disc). Data on these should last for around ten years (that's much more secure than a floppy disk or even your hard drive). -- How much information can this drive... Read review

Advantages: Allows you to connect your phone to your computer
Disadvantages: You have to remove the back cover to connect it

...The 3210 has a data connection port built in to the circut board that allows you to connect the phone to a PC. The data cables allow you to unlock your phone with unlocking software to use different network's SIM cards in a phone locked to a particular service provider. Unlocking with a data cable is now not neccesary as there are websites that provide the unlocking codes for free, calculated from the phone's IMEI number and the network code. The cables are still useful as they allow you to activate features hidden in some models, such as the hidden games; react and logic, plus you can activate the line 2 facility and enable the vibrate function, with the Nokia Profile programme. To allow your phone to vibrate you still have to fit a vibra motor. The cable also allows you to download operator logos, picture messages and ringtones... Read review

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

...I was recently preparing a presentation at work for a client and their request was that we transferred it to a flash drive (or memory pen as my boss calls them!) Following a quick call 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 and less than a centimetre in width so the downside 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... Read review

Advantages: Large space, nice appearance, affordability, fast performance, pretty design...
Disadvantages: No extra goodies or bundled software!

...speed - 14MB/s Random read speed - 18MB/s Sequential read speed - 18MB/s If you don't know what these values mean, just take it that this is a pretty fast drive. I could manage to write 5GB of data in 12mins (avg. rate - 6.6MB/s). So, I guess that should explain. Extra goodies - 2/10 Except for the fact that this comes with USB 2.0 and Vista compatability, there is absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER that Kingston blesses you with. Let alone a bundled software, you don't even get a lanyard/neckstrap with this thing! That's cruel! It would have been great if it was at least U3 smart. But, nonetheless, worry not flash drive owner! There are tonnes of portable softtwares that you can install and access from your USB drive. Common USB applications include:- Data Back up softwares (with one... Read review

Advantages: Fast, Large amount of storage, small sized product, great alround
Disadvantages: no neck strap supplied, minor detail.

...-----| Reason for buying |----- I bought this as an upgrade from my 1GB stick, as i required more space and a more reliable stick, my old one used to corrupt my files. The price was also very attractive for its size, £17.99 for a 4GB USB stick was exceptional when I bought it around 4 or 5 months ago. -----| What I have used it for |----- I used this throughout my studies at school, it was in constant use, exchagning data to and from it numerous times a day. Each transfer was fast, due to it being USB 2.0, and with no corruptions or file loss. I have also used it to transport mp3 files, movies, and game files (very large files basically, upwards of 2GB) and it did this perfectly. -----| Pros |----- Very large even by todays standards, large enough to transport any media type, and lots of it. Small but doesnt feel... Read review

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 1GB drive this has to be the bargain pen drive for every student or office worker out there. To start with it is simple plug and play with both Mac and Windows makes this drive so easy to use. 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 flash drives) 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... Read review

Advantages: Allows you to upload from Sony camcorder to your PC
Disadvantages: None, it is functional if needed. Shop around for the best price.

...I am definately not a techno type of person but can certainly recommend this data cable. It is a useful, functional piece of equipment which allows you to link your Sony camcorder to any kind of PC. The main thing I would say is, that if you find yourself in need of this cable then the best thing to do is to shop around. There are bargains to be had and quite big differences in the prices charged for it. Amazon is quite a good place to look, as not only do you get an Amazon price but there are other offers to be found there for new cables too. When I was looking the best deal available was £7.99 (plus shipping). Or of course you could order from Amazon when you are buying other items and then be eligible for free shipping if you spend £15. For even more savings register with Greasy Palm and log onto Amazon from there to get a 10... Read review
