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...

Victorinox Swissbit USB flash drive - 1 GB

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 flash drive 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...

Best USB drive I have ever used

Sony Micro Vault Tiny - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Advantages: Stylish design. Available in a variety of colours.
Disadvantages: Too small and easy to lose. Flimsy carrying pouch.

...Sony's Microvault Tiny flash drives have been available for some time now and like other USB pen drives they are coming down in price and are available in increasing capacities. The pen drive itself is very easy to use. It works fine on Windows machines and Apple Macs. A small green light shows when data is being transferred. Like other pen drives they offer a highly durable way to store and transport files. What sets these pen drives apart from the rest are their looks. The design is very stylish and futuristic and in my view these are some of the nicest looking pen drives out there. They are available in a variety of colours, depending on the capacity of the drive. They are also the smallest and thinnest pen drives I have seen - smaller in real life than in the picture. It's amazing how much information can be stored on such...

Review of Sony Micro Vault Tiny - USB flash drive - 1 GB

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...

Review of IronKey Secure Flash Drive USB flash drive - 1 GB

Handy little flash drive

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

...happy with this product. I don't know what I could complain of. It works good and fast (as fast as a USB 2.0 goes), it's nice looking and damage-proof thanks to its rubber layer... so no, I can't really list any bad point. PRICE AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS This flash drive can be purchased on Play.com for £5.99 which is perhaps not the greatest deal right now since the 4GB one costs £6.49 (only 50p more) or else you can buy two of 4GB each for £10.49! So, no, I do not suggest to purchase this model but I do suggest one of its bigger brothers of the same brand because they are very valid. I have also bought the 4GB and 8GB. My father now uses the 1GB one for work where he only needs it for MSOffice documents, so nothing extraordinary big, while you might want to go for the 4GB or 8GB if you're planning to store or transfer pictures...

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

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...

Bullet Proof Flash Drive I Guess

Advantages: Waterproof, Shock proof, Password protection, Rubber ring design
Disadvantages: None

...the problem of having an extra power lead that needs to be plugged into a socket in the wall like some external hard drives at the moment. Specifications *************** Capacity: 1GB Interface Type: USB 2.0 OS Required: Microsoft Windows XP/ Windows Vista Conclusion ************ I found this USB flash drive extremely useful especially with some extra features that some flash drives don't have at the moment. I recommend this to anyone that has a decent amount of work that needs to be carried around on disk....

Review of FUJIFILM Secure and Splash - USB flash drive - 1 GB

Viking USB 2.0 Flash Drive 1GB

Advantages: Small, High Capacity, Quick Transfer Rate
Disadvantages: None As Yet

...I bought this pen drive when I came across a website that I found on google by accident. They were selling it in their sale for £14.99. So I though that I would give it a try. It cam in the post, and I opened the bag that it came in, and I was shocked by the size of the pen. It was the smallest pen that I had ever seen. I was worried at first because it is so small that it would be easy to lose it, and I thought that I would very quickly. Although there is a hole at the end where you can put a clip through so you can attach it to something, i.e. around you neck, on a key ring, etc. It has a lid to keep the USB connection clean and so that it can not be broken. Once it has been taken off, you can plug it straight into the USB port on you computer. It works at its best via the USB 2.0 port. This allows high speeds of data transfer...
