A Flashing Flash Drive

Advantages: Visible data transfer signal, small and robust
Disadvantages: Easy to lose, possibly!

...will have to install the embedded software to make it talk to your PC. This is done automatically through the use of a set up wizard and is a one time operation per device. The flashdrive I have can hold 256MB of information. When plugged into the computer an LED (red in this case) will flash steadily to let you know that it's connected. This has the dual advantage of being a reminder to you not to leave it behind (so easy to do!). During data transfer the flash rate increases to give you a visible clue that data is being transferred. For non-techies this is a great help as you're not left wondering whether it's working. To transfer files you can use the now common "drag and drop" method from your computer desktop. You can also cut and paste if you find that easier. There's no built in firewall with this drive so care must be taken...

Handy little flash drive

Advantages: nice, damage-proof, user-friendly, not bad price
Disadvantages: with little more you can buy a much bigger one

...SanDisk Micro Cruzer 1GB Although there are many higher capacity models of this Cruzer Micro, I find very handy the 1GB one for the most common usage which doesn't involve the transfer of video files (which are usually the biggest in size). Till a year ago I never even heard of this brand SanDisk but it has become very very popular lately and I have to say, of all the products I bought that were made by this brand none of them has yet failed me. This flash drive is no exception. It's small in size covered by a rubber thin see-through case and equipped with a loop wide enough to fit through a necklace chain, the rubber cover can be removed but I suggest you to leave it on because it protects the drive from damages (for example if it falls on the floor). It's very Windows-friendly and is imediately recognized both by Vista and XP...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Small, light flash drive

Advantages: Huge storage capacity, given it's size
Disadvantages: Can misplace it easily as its so small!!

...I bought this product from play.com for £17.99 which i think was a bargain. It's so small and light. Fantastic for transferring my coursework from home to uni and vice versa. Only problem is because it's so small, it gets lost at the bottom of my bag and i worry i've lost it totally! As for the memory size, 4GB is excellent! I bought it to back up some movies, pictures and songs from my computer, and it's great given its small physical size. I found that with my old USB memory stick, i kept misplacing the cap which inevitably damaged the memory stick. The great thing about this flash drive is that it doesn't have a cap, the USB bit is retractable instead! Installation was very straightforward and fast, practically all automatic. It's got a wierd U3 application that i'm just getting to grips with as i've never come across such...

A 'Must Buy' Flash Drive

Advantages: Waterproof, Tamper Proof, Capacity, USB 2.0, Slim, Plug and Play
Disadvantages: None

...Capacity *********** The digital capacity of this flash drive is 1GB which is the same as 1024MB which means it is extremely suitable for large amounts of work such as word documents and decent sized downloads such compressed files. Design ********** This is an extremely fancy flash drive from the look of it with its slim metallic look which can be very pleasing on the eyes however one of the faults with it that I have found with a lot of my flash drives that I own is that when I take the top off to reveal the USB adapter it is extremely easy to put the top down and lose it because I'm not able to attach it to the back end of the flash drive. I found that due to its slim nature it was easily able to fit into any USB port even with another USB port been used next door to it which I found a lot of flash drives that are being...

cool flash drive

Advantages: looks funky, good for younger people
Disadvantages: comes at a price

...SanDisk Cruzer Snap This has quite a cool funky design and would probably appeal to younger people or just people who want their USB stick for more than a portable storage device. I personally would be too bothered what my USB device looks like as I use quite a lot of them and seem to get through so many of them, most of which I loose, so paying a bit extra for a funky design wouldn't really be something id do. Sandisk are well known for computing and mainly for their different flash drives they do. They make a lot of them ranging from ones that are extremely portable. To the ones that look really cool like this one here. It does come with a bundle of different software on it, which is good if you want to use it. It comes with skype and some antivirus software on it, however this can be installed if you don't want It and it...

Kingston 1Gb Flash Drive

Advantages: Compact, fast, reliable
Disadvantages: Lack of transportation strap

...I remember when USB flash drives hit the market a few years back when you could fit a staggering 16Mb worth of data on a device the size of your middle finger. Since then capacity has increased and prices have decreased at an alarming rate. For example you can now get 4Gb flash drives for cheaper than the original 16Mb drives which represents great value for money. --Whats in the box -- Contents of the box are minimalistic to say the least, there is the drive itself and a little strap which you can then use to attach the drive to your belt/keyring, etc. This device really is plug and play in its simplest form, there arent even any instructions supplied with it, mainly because none are required. -- Useage -- Plugging the drive into a spare USB slot will give you an extra drive in Windows Explorer (My Computer) typically F...

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

Kingston USB 2GB Flash Drive

Advantages: Speed of small transfers
Disadvantages: No ReadyBoost, feels cheap

...Hi today I will be reviewing a Kingston DataTravler 2GB USB Flash Drive. I bought this a few months ago after losing my other flash drive. It cost me 9.97 from PC World but I believe you can get them cheaper in other places. Speed For the data that I transfer to it i.e. pictures and some small visual basic programs it transfers them extremely quick compared to some cheap flash drives I have used in the past. Problems So far I have had no major problems other than in windows vista it is not capable of running ReadyBoost which a free flash drive I had a while ago could. Size The overall size of the flash drive is quiet good the USB connector slides in and out with a rather flimsy press and slide switch. Feel The Kingston feels rather cheap and plastic considering the price I paid for it anyway. Over all this is not a bad...

Flash Drive - More Than Enough For Day To Day Work

Advantages: Small, Cheap, Easy to Use, Fast, Size - Enough for day to day work
Disadvantages: Chunky

...I originally picked up this USB flash drive for only £10 not too long ago and have been reasonably happy with what I've bought as a whole. Size (Digitally) **************** This drive is 2GB's in size making it excellent to carry a descent amount of work around with you no matter where you are or where your going. When putting the USB flash drive into the USB port it is extremely easy to use because this and most flash drives are plug and play devices which allow the device to be inserted and from that moment the user can use the device almost instantly after the system automatically installs it. Design ********* This flash drive can come in many other colours besides the colour blue as displayed in the Ciao picture. I also have a black one in the same size for example. There is a cap or top which is able to be pulled away...

Review of Integral Courier - USB flash drive - 2 GB

Toshiba U3 USB Flash Drive 4Gb

Advantages: U3 support
Disadvantages: Intrusive programme everytime you plug it into a computer

...The Toshiba U3 flash drive provides a versatile way to store your memory. It comes in 4 sizes - 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb. It supports U3 and allows the user to install programmes on the USB drive, and then run it on the computer directly. --- the BASICS --- The Toshiba U3 flash drive is shaped as a normal USB drive - long and thin. It has a cap to cover the opening of the USB port. The cap is connected to the main part by a small string which comes with the drive. Other than that the drive has no other parts. The storage provided by the drive shows up as 3.79Gb. This is because 4Gb is actually 4,000,000 bytes. When divided by 1024 twice (into Kb and Mb) it is actually just 3.79Gb. Furthermore even more space is used up - this is illustrated by the fact that when the user plugs into the computer, it shows up as 2 drives - the removable...
