High Speed Data Transfer Miracle

Advantages: Small, easy to use, fast data transfer
Disadvantages: The packaging needs a bulldozer to get into

...The SanDisk Cruzer Mini 128MB storage device is a USB device you can use to transfer data. It holds data, music, pictures, and just about anything else you wish to store. I first discovered these back in January when I was looking for a present for my dad?s birthday. He had been complaining about floppy disks not holding enough data, and CD?s being time consuming to burn. As he often needs to transfer data onto a client?s computer, I though this would be the perfect solution. He raved about this, saying that it was one of the best presents he?s had, so when my laptop was changed for one without a floppy drive, I decided to get one myself. Trawling the internet, I found the SanDisk Mini Cruzer for £20.99 on ebuyer. Not bad for a device that holds the equivalent of 100 floppy disks! Bearing in mind that a floppy holds about 1...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Mini - USB flash drive - 128 MB

Easy Data Storage

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...

$ your perfect data traveler companion $

Advantages: loads of storage - 8 GB
Disadvantages: The cap as it can get lost

...uncompressed media files. It is a very valuable tool when sending data to different locations or moving to via many workstations. - Flash memory - The Flash Drive 'memory ' is a method of storage speed. This particular drive works twice as fast as a lower spec memory drive. It reads at a transfer rate of 28MB's per second and that is halved when transfering data from the key to another workstation. However, the USB key can communicate from different digital components -- such as MP3 Players -- Digital Cameras -- Handsets -- and most digital devices. The speed won't be noticeable unless you are transferring a file of over 256MB; then the speed of transferring would be an issue. Flash memory facilities are a lot cheaper than other memory systems such as EECOM products. Flash Memory is still relatively new and has already made an impact on memory...

Disadvantages: Do not deliver goods until threatened, Poor contact, Ignores requests, Answer phone only by phon

...*** UPDATE: ITEM HAS FINALLY BEEN RECEIVED *** INTRO In January 2009, I had decided to buy a laptop so wanted a messenger-style bag to carry it around in. I had previously owned a ?Crumpler Boomer? messenger bag (got stolen along with my netbook), so wanted another Crumpler bag, as I knew they were strong, good quality and fairly light whilst still offering good protection for the laptop. They were expensive though, so I searched around on price comparison websites, which eventually lead me to Datakits.co.uk. I also searched for a voucher and managed to find a free delivery coupon at the top of my Google search. DATAKITS.CO.UK WEBSITE DataKits.co.uk is an online retailer of mobile phone and MP3 player accessories, electronics, computer accessories, etc. The website is laid out well, ?looks? pretty professional at first...

DataKits just steals your money!

Advantages: I do not think i can find any?
Disadvantages: You do not get what you pay for and it's impossible to contact them.

...Oh dear... If i just read all these great reviews before placing an order with DataKits, it would never have ordered from them. I have tradet over the internet for 8 years now and this is the first time i have been cheated. I ordered som iPhone gear last mounth from DataKits, and they haven't shown up. Their webshop just look so professionel (maybe i'm very naive?) Well...

We will check the status and follow up the delivery company straight away.

Transfer Pictures or Data in a flash

Advantages: Quick, reliable and easy to use
Disadvantages: Short lead

...The Belkin Compact Flash Card Reader is a great product for those who use the compact flash data storage system. Compact flash cards are found in handheld pc and digital cameras. They are used to store data such as files or pictures. Once these are full or if the data needs to be moved to a pc this is where the Belkin Compact Flash Card Reader comes in. The Card Reader reads the information stored on the compact flash card and transfers it quickly to a folder on your pc. Most Products that use compact flash come with a transfer cable anyway to use with your pc so you may think why do I need one? The reason why card readers are needed is because they are quicker and more reliable than just transferring directly from your device. The reason for this is the Device is usually operated via batteries and it requires a lot of power to...

SQUEEZES ALL YOUR DATA ONTO A TINY CHIP.

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...

The 8GB Kingston Data Buddy!

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...

Kingston Data Traveller 1 GB

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...

Review of Kingston DataTraveler I - USB flash drive - 1 GB

2GB Data Traveller

Advantages: Looks great and very cheap
Disadvantages: Slow transfer rate and 'sticking' cap

...This USB memory stick is definately a good purchase. I bought mine from amzon in autumn 2006 for £19 from amazon. This was a bargain, but now they have dropped below £10, so are definately a bargain for anybody. The stick is small in size and has an attractive green design, with a matching green LED status light. The 2GB (actually 1.86GB) memory provides ample storage space. There is also an attractive metal faceplate on the reverse side. The package includes a small string to attach to a key chain, although no lanyard or keychain. In terms of hardware performance the USB stick is very reliable and consistent. However, it has a consistently low transfer speed that mirrors the low price. To copy a single 700MB movie took four minutes, when compared to 90 seconds with my old Kngston memory stick. I also found that the cap can...
